Description: The Down Under Center (DUC) is our 7000 square foot activity center where children have their own gym, a large indoor playground filled with special “soft play” equipment highlighted by a twenty-seven foot spiral slide and interactive, electronic “toys” including Dance Dance Revolution, Wii, and Sportwall Training Stations. The DUC is command central for our After School Care program, spring break and summer camps, Parent's Night Out (affectionately known as PNO) and, without a doubt, the coolest birthday parties in Central Arkansas.
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.
