WELCOME OWNER'S MESSAGE QUALITY CHECKLIST OUR FACULTY PROGRAMS LET'S GO OUTSIDE CAREERS LINKS CONTACT US

 

Being on-site daily ensures the quality educational childhood programs we have been known for since 1963. As managing owners, we strive to retain professionally trained, nurturing staff members. When you visit our classrooms, you will experience lots of bustle, noise and plenty of fun! Children are doing things...talking and learning through play. Our staff are always observing and thinking about how young children explore their world and what they are doing in their world.

Then they create an environment and experiences that are in tune with each child at their particular age and stage of development. This is known as Developmentally Appropriate Practice and can succeed only when there are enough adults to respond to every child. Our staff to child ratio is excellent and we maintain quality substitutes to keep this ratio.

 

In addition, to insure a full range of service, we:

• have a safe and clean environment with varied age-appropriate
  materials that are carefully arranged to meet the children's growth
  and development patterns
• provide nutritious meals and snacks at the center and during
  enrichment field trips
• keep our fees affordable
• communicate with families
• support parenting

When you visit, ask to see the Kindergarten classroom in a real DC7 airplane.

Thank you for visiting our web site. We look forward to meeting you and your family.

Sincerely,
Miss Helen & Mr. Chas
