Description:
Our experts designed our classrooms - and every activity and lesson - to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play and blocks in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich social play and child-initiated discovery.
You’ll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children’s literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we’re helping develop early literacy and writing skills.
Whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we’re excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning!

The staff was horrible to the children, the leadership was hardly leading anything, the children were not allowed to bring outside food so they often starved if they did not like lunch. Staff was horrible to each other and one staff member in particular was very rude to all staff and children and favored her own son.
