Description: Our center provides an environment for children where they will experience emotional, physical and intellectual growth. Our staff is nurturing and understanding.
We strive for the development of a well-adjusted child and provide a foundation for continued learning through socialization, positive reinforcement and guidance. Instilling a sense of security and confidence in all children attending our program is paramount. We recognize that all children are unique and deserve individual and personalized attention. If a child’s needs are met and they feel at ease with their surroundings, they will be anxious to learn.
Parents are welcome to come in for a tour. Welcoming you to our center enables us to answer any questions you may have and affords us the opportunity to put you at ease while selecting the preschool where your child will experience their early childhood education.
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.
