About the Provider
Our child care center is an extension of your home-a place where your child can grow and learn through a variety of physical,social, emotional and intellectual activities. We are dedicated to early childhood and your child's needs as an individual and peer within a group. At Carriage House Day Care, we place emphasis on love, nurturing and developmental activities for infant and toddlers. While the same is true for preschool children, their day also consists of pre-kindergarten concepts and skills. Through the High Reach Learning Curriculum, toddlers and preschoolers will explore a well-rounded balance of learning experiences and many opportunities to develop important skills needed to be successful in school.
