Description: "Learning is FUN!" Let us tell you about our philosophy. A valid question which is frequently asked is "what is your purpose?" it's true our children are making pumpkin people, painting unusual pictures, taking walks, and "just playing and having fun." Sometimes, it is difficult to see that there are concrete goals and a strong philosophy which underlies all of this madness! Our purpose is to provide each child with an educational program which fosters his or her competency in dealing with all aspects of life. We strive to help each child in gaining a better understanding of themselves and their world.
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.
