Description: Saddle Acres is a learning center. We believe that children learn best through a rich environment that considers their total development in addition to each child’s individual needs and differences.
Our philosophy is based upon three goals, which we firmly believe prepare each child for future learning experiences:
1. To instill confidence in your young child
2. To keep your child’s mind open to new ideas and experiences
3. To ensure that your child enjoys attending school
To achieve these goals, our educators and caregivers create a variety of learning activities designed to enhance cognitive, physical, and social development.
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.
