DESCRIPTION
A homey, family setting, where children know they are welcomed and loved.
I offer a preschool program for children ages 3-5. And a toddler/infant program geared to
meet the needs of physical and interactive activities for this age.
Music and dance, Arts,
Reading, and many hands on learning experiences for the children to explore and have fun while
gaining new knowledge about the world around them. They will all discover that... "I CAN DO IT!!!"
Along with core learning the children also learn 'self-help' and 'daily living skills' Come take a
peek and see if what I offer will meet the needs of your child.

PHILOSOPHY
Children need to feel safe, loved and welcomed when away from their parents. They want to have fun, be curious and explore. I let them do that here. They think they are 'playing.' You will know they are learning. You will know they feel comfortable being with me and the other children. YOU can go to work with less worry!
REGISTRATION
Call for information. Set up time for an interview. If we agree to a commitment for care, you will need to fill out forms for enrollment.
PARENT INFORMATION
I am a firm believer in interviewing as many providers as possible before commiting to one. Find the best 'fit' for you and your child. This is a hard decion for you...leaving your child or infant in the arms of someone else. Ask questions and take notes when interviewing.
Having reliable 'back-up'care is just as important as a primary provider. Providers need to take time off, become ill or for vacations, so having someone else you can trust is a necessity. Good luck in your search!
