About the Provider

At Early Years Child Care we understand the main focus is the children in our care.  In fact this is our number one core value. We are a family owned business with 5 locations and have been loving children in our care for over 25 years. We believe that every child is extremely special and has their own special gifts.  We are an educational based child care facility with a structured daily learning curriculum.   Every child has their own individually grouped rooms based on age with their very own teacher who will greet you with a smile daily.  We have safe and secure locations with experienced teachers so you do not have to worry when you leave your children with us.  Unlike other centers we do not hide our extremely reasonable rates.  You may view them on our website.  Early Years Child Care ‘the foundation to a child success”
