Quality Rating: Gold *; Mission: We believe that all children are equal, and have the ability to excel in some way, and, if given the opportunity, can reach their fullest potential. Our goal is to provide a challenging environment, a comprehensive curriculum, and a qualified staff to motivate and teach the children to want to learn. We dedicate ourselves to the children we serve, and respect them as individuals, realizing that we can teach them, they can teach each other, and they can also teach us. By working closely with the parents, using volunteers and community resources, it is our endeavor to offer these experiences which will encourage our children to develop to their fullest potential: physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.; Participates in the Pay Equity Fund.
