School Notes

We take great pride in our center and the longevity of many of our staff members. We care for children ages 6 weeks - 12 years. Educational programs are available at each level including a kindergarten program and before and after school care.
- We strive to make our center both a safe and healthy place to be. Our front entryway is password protected by a keypad. Our age appropriate fenced in playgrounds offer a safe environment for your child to play outside. We serve two well balanced meals and a snack each day, all of which are prepared on the premises. Our staff are trained and certified in First Aid and CPR.
