We offer structured preschool curriculum for children ages 2-4 and we also offer part and full time options as well as before and after school programs for children from 5-12 years old who attend Windy Hill Elementary School. We even offer summer camp programs!
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.
