Our goal is for children to have fun, be happy, and grow in all areas of their lives.
• Creative play with arts and crafts.
• Manipulative play with games, puzzles,
and toys.
• Active play in our indoor gym and outside.
• Imaginative play in our learning centers.
• Social play with friends.
Enrichment and Child Care
Our programs are developmentally appropriate and focus on each child as
an individual. We create a relaxed, trusting, and fun atmosphere where
children are encouraged to discover their own interests and develop friendships.
We recognize that children need a balance of structured and unstructured
activity during their early years of development. We also believe in offering
choices to children whenever appropriate to encourage positive decision-making
skills. We want to help them grow in confidence, learn respect for others,
and give them the building blocks they need as they start down the path
of lifelong learning and discovery.
Trained Staff Make a Difference!
Staff members receive ongoing training in the areas of child development,
quality environments, programming, behavior management, and health and
safety. All staff members are CPR and first aid certified. The maximum
ratio of staff to children is 1 to 10.
