Description: Finding the right place — and the right people — for your child’s education and care is a big decision. To help your family with this choice, I’d love for you to meet our teachers, see our classrooms, and learn more about our center and our programs. 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. Our center is of a smaller size which allows our staff to really focus on individualized attention. The staff knows each and every child, as well as each and every parent--and even grandparents, too! Our center has 'family' appeal to it and we would love to make you a part of it.
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.
