ABOUT US Our Philosophy: We strive for excellence in care and education for the children at our center. Our goal is to build a strong early education foundation through a variety of experiences involving creative expression, independent learning, social skills, language skills and fine and gross motor skills. Each child will develop positive attitudes about self, school and learning. We more than meet their basic needs, including nutritious meals, clean and hygienic facilities, routine, rituals and consistency. Both the children and their families are central to everything we do, and the input of families is essential to our achieving and maintaining excellence.

Our staff and teachers are at all times friendly, trustworthy, patient, understanding and compassionate. We provide guidance based on sensitivity and positive reinforcement. We listen with empathy and respond with understanding to the children, their families and to each other, ensuring continuity of care, so the children develop a sense confidence and security about us.
