We have been a part of the community for over 25 years andare active participants in many community events. We provide the children a quality learning program where we encourage creativity and a chance for them to learn and grow.
- Health and safetyare our number one priority here. Our entry has a key pad that requires a code for entrance into our center. This code is changeda minumum of twiceper year. We have a secure fenced-in outside play area where the children can play in a protected environment. We keep Child Supervision Records in the classrooms where the teacher checks attendance every half hour and center management reviews these records a minimum of three times a day. We have a sign-in and out booklocated at our parent center, that families are required to fill out at drop off and pick up. We ensure that the proper people are picking up the children by verifying their photo identification and comparing them to the paperwork that was submitted by the parent. We clean our classrooms and main center areas daily and sanitize the center nightly, following all state and company health and safety guidelines to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all the children in our care.
