Description: We have extended hours so that family needs can be met. We have been in business for 23 years. We are a large center but small class size for more personal attention.
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.

I have 3 children who attend Dipper Doodles via bus from school. The staff are kind, caring, and go the extra mile to ensure all children are included in activities. My youngest is a handful but they work with him, not punish him. Very happy to be a part of this child care experience!
My two year old son was there for three days. Two of which he came back scratched and bruises. With no explanation
