Our Learning Programs

Out of all the daycare centers we toured, we were most impressed with this school and staff. The director was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We did not make an appointment before touring but were shown classrooms anyway. The teachers seemed to be really involved with the kids. We have since enrolled our baby and are so happy with our choice.
