Description: Seton Hill Child Services mission is to serve families ethically, with the highest quality of care. We set the standard for quality childcare by demonstrating exemplary skills and commitment to children, families, and our staff.
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.
