We are proud to have the opportunity to care for the children in this community. Finding the right care for your child should give you a sense of comfort and confidence knowing that your child’s well-being and development is the top priority. This site has been designed for parents. Let us know if there is anything else that we can do to assist you.
Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children. It provides experiences that enrich and enhance each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, and creative development. Within the program’s daily schedule, each child has opportunities to create, explore the environment, learn problem solving and personal interaction skills, and learn concepts through first-hand experiences. Children develop a positive self-concept through a balance of self and teacher directed activities. Opportunities for solitary play as well as group activities are provided. Staff serve as positive role-models, and provide care that is supportive, nurturing, warm, and responsive to each child’s individual needs. We respect families as the primary and most important providers of care and nurturing, and we believe parents and teachers are partners in children’s care and education.

Our curriculum has been adapted from “The Creative Curriculum.” It operates on the belief that the child learns best by doing. It encourages children to learn and explore through use of their senses, such as, touching, tasting, smelling, listening, and looking.
We use materials such as blocks to help the children learn about size, shape, and color. After learning these basic concepts, we teach the children words and numbers, which are more abstract. The curriculum’s goal is to teach children how to learn, giving them a valuable tool for success in their later years as well. This curriculum encourages children to be independent, self-confident, and inquisitive individuals.
