make this decision easier. Our child care center takes pride in
offering the best atmosphere for learning for your infant through
school age child. We are proud to offer a superb pre-school
curriculum and environment that helps each child reach his or her

We have a nurse visit our center monthly. We also practice fire and disaster drills every month. We also have a designated Health and Safety Coordinator on site. Our center has a secure entrance in which every family would need to enter a code to gain entrance to our building. Fire and Tornado drils are done routinely so that all our children and staff know exactly what to do if ever there is a fire or other disaster. Your child's safety is our main concern each and every day!
