About the Provider

Description: We believe that play is a child's work and that learning occurs during developmentally appropriate, child-centered activities. Children learn concepts best when they are meaningful and relevant to them, and they acquire knowledge through the active exploration of their environment. We understand that it is the teacher's responsibility to provide an environment that is stimulating and challenging, along with the proper tools with which the children can explore. Our teachers actively facilitate learning through encouragement, promotion and reinforcement of children's exploration and questioning, which in turn leads to skill development and discovery.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This place is DESPICABLE! When my daughter before 2, we decided to move out from this place. The owner and her daughter run this place and her daughter is really despicable. One day my kid had tooth mark on her arm and I asked them what it was. The owner's (the daughter) first comment was "that's from your daughter herself. When she took a nap, she made her arm as a pillow and opened her mouth. That's how she got the tooth mark on her arm'. They didn't allow me to say any other words. When we got back home, the old lady call me and apologized. When we left the school, they called to her teachers and then found out one of her teachers left the Accident note on the top of the office cabinet. The owners didn't even try to find out what was going on when i asked but all they did, hide it and covered it up in a very ridiculous way.
