Description: The focus is on creating an enviroment that encourages children to learn. Young learners create understanding and knowledge actively, combining new concepts and ideas into what they already know. Research on brain development and how young children learn has demonstrated the phenomenal pace at which learning takes place from the moment of birth.
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.
