Description:
We are a secured facility offering child care for children 6 weeks through school age. Located across from the Whitehall Police Department, we have a full preschool curriculum worked into every day, including learning time and both fine and gross motor activities. We offer before and after school care for the Whitehall-Coplay school district and St. Elizabeth parochial school. Our staff is fully trained in all DPW and safety regulations and have a minimum of 5 years experience. We also accept Title XX through CCIS of Lehigh and Northampton counties.
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.
