Description: Our center in Wayne opened in 1999 and has been one of the top-rated childcare facilities in the area. Our staff is first rate and we are happy to say some of our staff members have been here for over ten years! Our curriculum is based on the Early Foundations program created by our Education Department. It combines fun and learning in an enriching environment. All of our staff is trained on the curriculum as well as all policies and procedures both through our company and through the state. You will see evidence of great curriculum in each room you tour! Our center capacity is 187 children. The smaller size allows our staff to really focus on individualized attention. The staff knows each and every child, as well as each and every parent. The center definitely has a very '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.
