Philosophy
Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children while their parents are working, in school, or in job training programs. We believe in a consistent, developmentally appropriate environment where children can feel safe, explore, and learn through their play.
We emphasize non-violence and nurturing principles. To encourage healthy parenting, we extend parenting support and education services. The Center is a safe haven for children and adults alike.
History

Because of our commitment to quality child care, we typically only serve a maximum of 70 children from ages birth to five.
