Gardening
The Toddler and Preschool Groups have a garden in their outdoor space. Each spring, the children and teachers contribute and create beautiful and educational container/raised bed gardens.
Sport
Children need to develop large motor and small motor skills and cardiovascular endurance. Extensive physical activity is also needed to address a growing problem of obesity in American children.
Art
Kids will love designing and creating puppets and collages, constructing musical instruments and flower bouquets, and painting, gluing, and crafting to their hearts’ content!

Excursions form a vital part of a child’s early education. They expose a child to a range of different experiences and enable them to gain a sense of the world in which they find themselves.

Love the teachers and the fun things they do with my daughter 😊 My daughter always tells me she had a good, fun day while at daycare. Communication is always great with the daycare, and I always know what uncomimg events or activities are planned.

My daughter has been going to this daycare for at least 4 years now and she loves it! The staff are highly trained and great with all the kids. They always have wonderful fun learning activities for the kids and have nutritious meals for the kids throughout the day, having the daycare make lunch and have snacks provided for the kids is such a relief! The staff is great at communicating with the parents and really make the transition from being home to daycare really smooth for the little ones just starting out at daycare. Would highly recommend this daycare/out of school to anyone! Really glad to have found this place.
