About the Provider

Description: Edu-Care believes that young children flourish in a warm, secure, and stimulating environment where they can find various experiences with people, ideas and learning materials. Besides our goal to promote the children's physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development, we place a great deal of emphasis in our program on helping the children develop a positive self-image, the ability to function in a group setting, and the acquisition of good learning habits. We've found that children who master these basic skills at an early age have an excellent foundation for future learning.
