Description: Huffer is committed to providing a quality early childhood education program combined with quality child care services. Understanding developmentally appropriate practices, we have the philosophy that children “learn by doing.†We believe children learn best when they are relaxed, feel secure, and have a variety of choices available to them. All lesson plans are not only age appropriate but also individually tailored to meet the unique needs of all children in the program. Our role as a quality early childhood education center is to promote the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of each child by building on the children’s past experiences and introducing intriguing new hands on experiences daily in our curriculum. HMCC is NAEYC accredited as well as a Ball State University Professional Development School.
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.
