Description: Our Clayton NC child care centers have provided well-rounded programs designed specifically for infants, toddlers, two-year-olds and preschool-age children since 1993. Our programs are based on The Creative Curriculum, a research-based and research-proven curriculum used by early childhood educators across the country. Our 5-star rated programs provide a warm, accepting climate in which every child can learn to trust, feel comfortable and develop self-confidence.
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.
