Routine, Schedule, Education, Music, Movement ,Creative Play, Nutritious Meals and lots of love, has been the timeless key to my business success for all these years.

Preparing your children for school and life is what we do here. Children help with daily responsibilities. Searing meals, clearing plates, cleaning up after playtime and cleaning up there bed rolls after nap and putting them away.
I am enrolled in a state food program.
With this programs comes yearly training and quarterly monitoring of all meals and snacks served to your child. Children love to cook. Cooking day is one of there favorite days.
Our morning is full of music, movement and education. Free play in the yard with enough bikes and toys to go around. Imagination is limitless while in there minds they climb towers and chase dragons around the yard.

Computer skills are so important even to the preschooler. ABC Mouse is the program we use.
This programs allows them to learn at their own pace gaining confidence in themselves daily.

Social skills and manners play a huge roll daily for each child. The younger children
learn from the older ones. They look to each other for support, laughter and friendship.

My goal is to provide quality child Care for you and your child. To stimulate their educational and social abilities.
