At Paidea children demonstrate an amazing understanding of their own emotions and those of others.
You'll see them playing cooperatively for extended periods of time.
Conflict is minimal. Peels of laughter, shouts of joy and the lively chatter of engaged and happy children fill the rooms.
The mission of the Paidea Child Development Center is to provide a caring, stimulating educational program which improves the quality of life for each child and their family.
We accomplish our mission by providing a wide variety of learning opportunities for the children, educational and support services for parents, and continual training and development of staff.
