About the Provider

Our experts designed our classrooms - and every activity and lesson - to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play and blocks in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich social play and child-initiated discovery.

You’ll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children’s literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we’re helping develop early literacy and writing skills.

Whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we’re excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning!

2024-11-08 Appeals - Unannounced Monitoring Appeals - Unannounced Monitoring Compliant - Finalized
2024-10-10 Unannounced Monitoring 3270.111(c) - Promote development Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.111(c)

Description: Promote development

Noncompliance Area: On 10/10/2024 at approximately 10:30am toilets in the Toddler B, DPS A, DPS B, Preschool room, Pre-K room and a staff bathroom in the hallway all over flowed due to a blockage in the sewer line. Toilet water spilled onto the floors in the affected classrooms and into the hallway near the staff bathroom, seeping into the DPS A room under the cubbies mounted to the wall and into a storage area by the kitchen. Staff Person #1 instructed Staff Person #2 to put a pull up and/or diaper on potty trained children if they had to go to the bathroom while they were waiting for the toilets to be fixed. Staff Person #2 and # 3 reported that multiple children were crying and upset because they didn't want to wear a pull-up or diaper. This act did not promote the development of skills, social competence and self-esteem.

Correction Required: Daily activities shall promote the development of skills, social competence and self-esteem. Daily experiences shall recognize the child as an individual and give some choice of activities that respect personal privacy, lifestyle and cultural background.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
In all classrooms we will ensure we are promoting the development of skills, social competence and self-esteem by ensuring the children have proper access to the toilet or diapers/pull-ups depending on what is needed for the individual child. A child who is potty trained and no longer wears diapers and/or pulls will not put a child in diapers and/or pull ups against their will or without the direction of their parent or guardian. If bathrooms are inaccessible we will not allow children to remain in care and must be picked up immediately.

If you are a provider and believe any information is incorrect, please contact us. We will research your concern and make corrections accordingly.
