We offer childcare from ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our goal is to keep your child's safety above all and as they progress we tailor the activities and learning to make sure they are ready for TK or K when the time comes. We have many activities through the day most of them involve learning as well as seasonal activities. Our motto is love and nurture with structure and discipline.

Our day-to-day child care philosophy is simple: give a child love and laughter, and they will grow faster and more driven to healthy and happy choices. There are many studies that show development in the first 5 years of any child's life shapes how they will become for their future. If that be the case, why not choose a day care option that forms your child's future to be surrounded by love, knowledge and happiness?

Imagination Studio is a space for children of all ages who want to be creative. We constructed a unique program that allows every child to use their own ideas or collaborating with friends to create amazing projects from their imagination. We believe every child should have an amazing experience working together or individually and be proud of their creations. We want to support their ideas and make sure they are safe while they work on their masterpieces. We explore and learn with multiple art materials, music and dance. Our goal is that everyone is safe and having fun while learning.

What we offer is a loving, safe, and educational environment for your child to grow. We will offer the very best care that we can for your child. We ask that, in turn, you help us by keeping us informed regarding any health concerns, favorite foods, fears, or special interests. We will share information about your child s growth and activities during the time spent in our program.
As a parent, you are the most important person in your child s world and we will make every effort to support you as a family. We understand how difficult it can be for working parents to balance all of their commitments and responsibilities in their lives. For this reason we strive to offer a program that will enrich your child s development while putting your mind at ease. We believe that self-esteem is a critical component to optimal growth in young children; we focus on developing the socialization and self-help skills needed to have a positive self-image. As a multi-cultural family, we understand the importance of multiple languages in the home, and in our childcare we strive to have a bilingual environment. Language acquisition skills are taught in English and Spanish. We will also do our best to assist your child in developing important values such as: love of learning, good manners, caring/sharing, patience, responsibility, compassion for self and others, as well as communication and teamwork.
We believe that children learn well through play and we will implement these important values throughout our day. We also offer daily preschool activities to help ready your child for Kindergarten. He/she will learn to recognize the alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers, as well as beginning reading and writing skills, if developmentally appropriate. We also work on name recognition and name writing.
The children are given the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create in a safe and nurturing environment. It is our goal to offer your family the quality childcare experience you deserve.
