About the Provider

Description:

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!

Lyn Porter, Center Director

Of all the abuse I've seen or ever heard of or seen this is the worst. The neglect of denying a student to go to school because other parent stops the tuition. Even though I was willing to pay for student to attend on day which is Thursday (today). This is neglect and abuse for the student. Parent works there and does not want student to attend, just to be mean and abusive to other parent. Then the Director fails to pick up calls or even call back this is abuse.
