Please do not send your children to this daycare! The owners are rude and terrible people as well as the "executive director." They talk down to their staff and treat them horribly as well. I have also heard discriminatory remarks at times. They do not take any parent concerns seriously and laugh them off constantly. The staff turn over rate is ridiculous - I can't tell you how many "teachers" have come and gone, most being high school/college age girls. Please do not use this place!

About the Provider
We believe in students capabilities to learn repect, and responsibility and to learn to care for others, and see themselves as constructive contributors of the community. We believe that learning how to get along with others is a life-long skill. Teachers facilitate problem solving, assist children in making positive choices, and help them develop appropriate solutions. Our staff strives to help children learn how they have an impact on others, to recognize their emotions and express them in acceptable ways.
Children’s learning and growth are seen as intertwined. We recognize the importance of play on the learning process. Our philosophy is that play is a child’s work, and fosters all aspects of development. Play is the source of laughter, humor, of inventiveness and beauty. It allows children to entertain possibilities and envision the future. During active play, a child’s mind, body and emotions develop and true learning takes place.
Our teachers support children’s acquisition of skills, knowledge and dispositions for learning (concepts or facts, physical and social tasks, curiosity or friendliness.) We prepare each child to enter kindergarten academically ready, and confident of their abilities, and we may help them achieve a lifelong love of learning.
