Description: We are community-based childcare centers that provide optimum care for children in an environment of guidance love and support. We provide numerous educational programs at our four sites located in the neighborhoods of Middle Village, Elmhurst, Holliswood and Queens Village. Our curriculum is play based with innovative state of the art classrooms. We believe that families are an integral part of a successful childcare program. Through family involvement we are better able to meet the development and personal needs of children. We like to think that families and childcare centers can and should work together to provide an environment that facilitates the growth of a child into a physically and emotionally healthy individual. Every child deserves to learn and have fun doing so.
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.
