Parents
Parents are the most important and significant people in a child’s life. We strive to keep our parents informed of their child’s interests and day-to-day activities. Parents are encouraged to drop in and spend time with their child at any time.
If you are looking for quality childcare, please drop by or call to set up an appointment.
Due to the popularity of our program, a spot may not be available. If that situation arises, your child will be placed on a waiting list.
