Description: I provide care for school age children only. I walk them back and forth to school and care for them when school is out also. We spend time outside every day either on the school playground or a local park. We are also very involved with our local library attending weekly programs year round.
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.
