About the Provider

Description: We are committed to the education of the whole child. This means we don’t just teach the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. In addition to focusing on those essential skills, we provide activities that are developmentally appropriate in a stimulating, challenging, and creative environment. During the first few years of a child’s life the brain is growing and developing at an amazing rate. We will expose your child to a variety of quality experiences that are crucial to his development.

The workers are so nice and listen to you. I have been trying to have my son evaluated for 2 years and the one time he was, I was told he was right on track. Being a mother of 4, I knew that was not the case. Finally I take him here and yes, he is behind on a lot!!! They set us up with services, which is much needed. They listen to your every concern and help set up goals for your child.
** I would reccommend their services, let them help your child grow!!!**
