About the Provider

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!

concerned parent Aug 06, 2014

My son has been here since 6 weeks. Staff turnover in the infant room is prevalent. The center has had this summer a succcesion of HFMD. This despite what the Administrator and Assistant Administrator indicate is an issue of cleanliness and they are cleaning appropriately. At this stage as a parent, especially with the HFMD, I am incredibly frustrated. I have to find coverage and typically he is out almost a full week. (this is the 2nd time in 2 months he has HFMD). Spray down your toys and clean appropriately.
