Description: Our Early Childhood Development Center provides quality daycare for children as early as six weeks old up to five years of age. The main purpose of the program is to ensure that all of our participant’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical needs are developed through age appropriate activities. We count on a caring, experienced and professional staff who make every effort to ensure that the children are well cared for and receive a warm and educational experience. Our ultimate goal for the children who come through our doors is to get them ready for each step of development and culminating in the kids leaving our center ready to be successful when they enter kindergarten.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
