About the Provider

Description: The Children's Center offers an enriching environment, with an educational curriculum. We learn with the children and provide them with activities that suit their interests, and help them to become autonomous individuals. Parent involvement is welcome, and we do have an on-site preschool for families that have Pre-K children. Our philosophy of discipline emphasizes positive behaviors and allows children to come up with solutions to their problems. We work to keep everybody safe and happy, but encourage children to cooperate with others and learn how to make good decisions.

Fyi I deliver to this address and the cook has a very very poor attitude. So before you leave your kids here you might want to know more about ALL of the employees. I literally got "oh its you" in an insulting tone the first time I went here. He was very short with me and kept cutting me off mid-sentence when I tried to explain a problem with the delivery instructions. I left very frustrated and because of the incident I won't be delivering there again. If he is like that with someone he just met imagine how your children are treated behind closed doors. All because I didn't want to leave the groceries the kids eat out in the rain as per their instructions. There was some blonde woman there too that had a tone with me and I felt like I walked into the twilight zone.
