About Us
Our Philosophy
We believe that children need a reliable and good quality child care in order to thrive and grow. This is important in the early stages of a child’s life. This time is when children grow and develop at fast rates. Children require consistency of care and nurturing in order to feel secure. It is very important that your child interacts with the same caregiver all day and every day. Even though, parents are the most significant adult in a child’s life, consistency in caregiving is essential to a trusting relationship. Therefore, we are here to provide a warm and loving environment where children can explore, discover and create. Children learn best in an environment that promotes learning. That is exactly what we provide; a positive comfortable, safe, nurturing, fun, and educational environment. Developmentally appropriate activities will be included and they are: free play (aka Work time), structured play (Large and Small Group Time), large/small muscle motor, story time, art and crafts, music, dance, nature, ecology awareness, nutrition, culture and language exposure, and so much more. They will be introduced to color, texture, shapes, numbers, letters, animals, feelings, senses, weather, seasons, nutrition and good manners. We are sensitive to a child’s social, emotional intellectual and physical needs. We are dedicated to working with parents; therefore, communication is the most important for our relationship and the success for your child.
