Description: The educational philosophy at Highland Free School is based upon the fact that children are naturally inquisitive and excited by learning. Our goal is to keep that inquisitiveness alive.
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.
