It is the objective of our center to provide quality childcare by developing the ''total child''. This is accomplished by using a hands-on approach to teaching. Areas of development include emotional,social,intellectual and physical growth,with an emphasis on self-esteem. We believe: A child should be allowed to learn and develop at its own pace - A child needs guidance as they grow and learn - Each child is unique and should be measured by their abilities not their age - No child is too young to learn and that every environment can be a learning environment.
