I visited several daycares in the area and I am 100% sure that enrolling my child here was the best decision that I could’ve made.

6 – 18 months
Our program welcomes infants from 6 to 18 months. We offer every child the opportunity to explore and have fun in a safe environment by observing, manipulating, touching, and moving. We believe “play-based” activities are crucial for a child’s social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and cognitive growth, and exploration is at the heart of play! This is the philosophy we use to ensure that our children learn while having fun.
