Description: At Tutor Time, our educational child care begins with a deep respect for your child’s eagerness to learn and capacity to develop meaningful relationships. We believe that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults can provide the basis for a lifelong love of learning. Our dedicated and highly trained teachers focus on creating these nurturing relationships that allow children to feel valued and empowered. This philosophy inspires the Tutor Time® StartSmartTM and LifeSmartTM curriculums, which focus on developing your child’s unique interests and abilities with hands-on active learning and opportunities for self-expression. Our Whole Child Education philosophy cultivates your child’s entire being. And our Creating Character program teaches skills such as teamwork, citizenship, kindness and respect. By focusing on developing meaningful relationships, we are creating a meaningful environment for your child to learn, grow and excel.
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.
