About the Provider
Our namesake at Shagbark Day Nursery is the Shagbark tree ?- strong, sturdy, resilient! These are qualities that we envision in children and that evolve from the caring and nurturing environment of our center. Shagbark's approach to day care is to provide a "home away from home"-- somewhere safe and comfortable where both children and parents can feel secure.
