We believe that good childcare depends upon consistent caregiving in a center based atmosphere. Children grow and learn best in a safe environment that provides opportunities to explore, create and communicate with other children and adults. These groups function independently but cooperatively, following routines appropriate to individual needs. The program is designed to be inclusive of all children, including those with identified disabilities and special learning and developmental needs.

We are a small and very affordable daycare, fully licensed and CPR certified. The main provider is Josephine Kakalis, who has been providing child care for over 30 years. We pretty much guarantee that we will be the lowest licensed child care provider in the area and encourage families to get state assistance for their child care if they need it. One of our current families pays nothing out of pocket and it is all paid by the state, so check with them if you need child care but don't think you

She is the most patient person I know and so knowledgeable about child development. I learned so much from her. She's flexible, creative and most of all- loving.
