Description: The core of The Giving Nest curriculum is to teach the children the joy of being kind and giving to others. Throughout the year our activities include manners, sharing, and reaching out to others who are less fortunate. Contact The Giving Nest today for more information about our schools. We'd love to give you a tour, answer your questions, and show you what makes our school so special . We look forward to building a relationship with you and your child. Since 1990, our commitment is to provide our families with the highest quality child care at affordable rates. The Giving Nest provides individualized attention to all children. By keeping our child/teacher ratio below state regulations our dedicated staff can provide the one-on-one attention your child deserves. Every class follows a carefully planned daily schedule; offering ample time for learning new things, creating projects, socializing with friends, exploring the diversified toys in the classrooms, and playing outside in our beautiful, fenced-in playground. All the children work in small groups, which gives them the opportunity to proceed at their own pace. This setting also offers the children more individualized instruction. Our small group format will allow your child to receive a large amount of nurturing, encouragement, and attention from the teachers.
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.
