About the Provider
Welcome to the Sandbox Daycares. We are very excited to have you and your children joining our family. We are glad you have chosen us to help make your children's early years an exciting time of play, friendships and learning.
It is the goal of the Sandbox Daycares to provide a safe, loving environment for your children to socialize with their own peers, learn respect of their friends and themselves and offer an introduction to educational skills that will help your child become a well-rounded individual.
I have been in Childcare for over 28 years, first in home and now in our Centers. I have always considered it an honor and a priviliedge to be entrusted with the care of your most precious possessions, this is also a strong belief that I instill in my staff. Many of the Sandbox staff have been with me for over 5 years and up to 12 years working within our centers.
No problem is too small, no question too silly and we pride ourselves on our open door policy and the relationships we build with our parents and children.
Please look through our site and feel free to contact us with any questions, either through our phone numbers listed on the side panel or through our contact form.
