About the Provider

Description: At our child day care center, we believe all children deserve to be loved, respected, and appreciated.

We value each child as an important and capable individual, and strive to create developmentally appropriate environments that stimulate children’s curiosity, while allowing children to learn through self-chosen play.

Since children at this stage of their development “learn by doing,” there are plenty of hands-on activities that can build a child’s self-reliance. Our staff foster a positive, non-sexist, non-violent and non-authoritarian, multi-cultural environment. Children are encouraged to express their feelings and needs verbally, and to respect those of others. We also help children build positive self-images. Each child is regarded as an individual, as is each parent.

We know that we are one of your child’s many teachers during their young lives, and we’d like to thank you for that opportunity. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The director is rude and disrespectful to parents and staff. Not worth the money for all of the drama and attitude you must deal with.
