Description: Welcome to Collegiate New Beginnings. We are happy to announce that we are in our sixth year of operation. We offer pre-school for children ages 3-5 years old. Our rooms are filled with fun learning materials that are developmentally appropriate. Our teachers and para professional work together to ensure each child's individual needs are met. Class sizes are small with 15 children per class. All five classrooms are trained in high scope. We hold different activities throughout the year for the children and parents such as field trips, multicultural feasts, picture day, and many more. We are equipped with two outdoor playgrounds and an indoor gym where children can utilize their various gross motor skills.
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.
