Description: We encourage the natural curiosity of the children we enrich. There is a lot to be said for the teachable moment which supports questioning, creativity and a love of learning. The foundation we lay for the children at Once Upon A Time is one that will follow them throughout their academic careers.
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.
