Description: HIGH COUNTRY CHILDCARE is a Four Star Family CC Home License in TODD NC, with a maximum capacity of 8 children. The home-based daycare service helps with children in the age range of 0 through 12. The provider does not participate in a subsidized child care program.
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.
