Description:
Welcome to the new Genesis Preschool and Academy! As new owners and directors, we are excited to join you during this important stage of your child’s development and look forward providing you with a nurturing, progressive and kind environment, that will foster and guide your child’s learning and growth.

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.
