I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I always feel my kids are well taken care of during the day while I’m at work since my daughter started in 2015 and my son in 2019. Maureen the owner is always making updates to the center and changing up the toys so the kids don’t get bored. My daughter will be starting Kindergarten in the fall and I feel her teacher has been working hard at getting her and the other kids well prepared. Maureen strives for consistency with caregivers so the kids can have familiar faces every day. She only hires people she feels are a good fit. The yard outside is nice and big, and the lower part of the yard can experience some partial flooding due to the nearby creek rising after very heavy rains, but it is a very rare occurrence and this has never been a concern of mine as it is far from the center and the children wouldn’t be outside in these cases. My daughter always tells me I pick her up too early at the end of day because she has so much fun she doesn’t want to leave! I highly recommend this center. It is affordable, clean, and well run.

My child went here for 4+ years. He was always well cared for and they taught him plenty to have him ready for school. It's a great place and I would definitely recommend it!

About the Provider

Children are the most wonderful people in the world. Each is a unique work of art with his own personality and talents. It is our goal to nurture and care for your child in an environment that is warm, stimulating and safe.

Emphasis is placed on structured activities throughout the day that promote your child to grow and learn in a positive surrounding. To make sure each child is challenged to reach her potential intellectually, socially and developmentally, we have small class sizes. Your child has his own designated classrom and teacher to ensure that every child receives more individualized care. We believe when a child has consistency and predictability every day, they thrive. This is something you will find unique to our center.

We foster a close relationship with the families at our center. We encourage parents to drop in or give us a call to discuss their child.
