Program Details
We strive to offer families a relaxed but professional environment for the children to grow. We provide a structure that allows creative free play, instructional learning, and encouragement. Here children have cared for in a home-like atmosphere that follows a flexible daily routine. Children spend the day enjoying friends, participating in age-appropriate - learning activities, eating healthy meals, playing, and exploring outdoors, all within a safe, secure home.
Being a private facility, we accommodate children in a small group setting. There are many benefits to having a small group. A small group allows more one-on-one attention so there is a better balance of care and lowers the risk of illness and disease. The children gain a sense of intimacy and security in our small group. Children here are close in age, allowing us to focus more on their development and well-being than what you would see in a setting with more age groups to cater to. Children stay with us for at least two years allowing close relationships to form between the child and provider, children with other children, parents and providers, and parents with other parents.

How We Spend Our Day
Our day is spent learning through exploring and playing. There are many things that we may do on any given day. Our schedule is flexible to meet the needs of our children. Some days are spent playing with various toys, while others may pay an extra hour playing in the park. Additional days may allow us to have learning time with arts and crafts. We celebrate every birthday and have holiday parties. The day goes by very fast for us because we are a busy bunch.
