Description: We describe our program at THE SANDBOX as a high quality, active learning program for children of all age groups. Our program has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) since 1998. Our program provides an environment rich in space and materials, as well as qualified staff who encourage child-initiated discoveries while emphasizing experimentation and exploration through hands-on activities. As a parent, you will observe in THE SANDBOX program children truly engaged in what they are doing. The self-paced classrooms and activity areas offer choices for children and provide for different learning styles and personalities.
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.
