Description: At Carousel Early Learning Centers, we take pride in our unique approach to teaching. From 8 weeks to 5 years of age, our students progress in the most important areas - those of Early Childhood Development. We believe that a partnership with both parents and staff creates a foundation for successful learning. Our staff provides the most hands-on and age appropriate learning for any age.
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.
