The three promises we make every family
Where kids have FUN
Where there is joy, there is life! Art, music, games, and everything in between are an integral part of your child's day. From making learning fun, to getting some of that bubbling energy out, to those cherished hand-made creations for your refrigerator, we cultivate the bright moments where memories and new friendships are made.
Our goal is that every child will absolutely love coming every day.
Where kids are SAFE
We vigilantly guard your child's safety, from our personnel to the building itself. Every staff member passes a Level 2 criminal background check through state and national agencies including the FBI, plus our own extensive interview process. The building stays locked during operating hours with secure check-in and check-out for pre-authorized parents only.
We recognize that your child's safety is precious above all.
Where kids love to LEARN
We feature The Creative Curriculum, a well-known hands-on approach, with a focus on Biblical principles and character development. Math, science, reading, and creative arts are all part of every week, tailored to different learning styles and kept positive, interesting, and fit for little ones.
Children here are encouraged to be children; we do not believe they are small adults.
