Description: Our mission is to join and support every child and their family on their journey by providing a road map paved with Jewish values and lots of opportunities to learn, explore, experience and grow along the way. As we sow the soil and plant the seeds, the roots of Temple Chai Childhood Center are growing strong.
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.
