Description: For almost 30 years Palisades Child Care Center has been providing caring, concerned parents with a place where they not only know their child is safe, but a place that’s fun, loving, and stimulating to a child’s inquisitive mind – a place that children look forward to going to every day. Some of our former kids are now bringing their own children here. We invite you to explore our site – and visit our center – to find out why so many parents say they wouldn’t trust their children to any other place.
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.
