Description: Our mission is to maximize education experiences aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study and our Belief Statement. We will work collaboratively to facilitate learning by enhancing the core curriculum with technology skills, problem-solving skills, and arts-based learning. We will empower stakeholders to invest in the school community, which will increase family involvement, foster mutual respect, and maintain a safe, orderly environment.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
