Description: Our mission is to create an environment wherein the highest potential of each child – spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual—may be realized. Our emphasis is on the whole personality of the child, respect for all life, personal empowerment and a nurturing, safe environment resulting in a well-educated, thoughtful and responsible global citizen. We are blessed with a unique culture in the Santa Cruz Valley and envision the school reflecting all aspects of our community. Community members, in turn, participate in the ongoing development of the school culture.
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.
