Questions parents often ask
Here are a few common questions families have when exploring child care options.
What age groups do you accept for enrollment?
We provide care for children ages six weeks through 12 years old, depending on program and location. Our classrooms are designed to support each stage of development, including infant and toddler care, preschool and pre-K programs, and before- and after-school care for school-aged children.
What does a typical day look like for my child?
Each day includes a mix of structured learning, playtime, and rest. Our curriculum is age-appropriate and may include academic learning, creative play, outdoor time on the playground, and enrichment activities. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks may also be available depending on your child’s program and schedule.
Do you offer part-time or flexible scheduling?
Yes. We understand that every family’s needs are different, so we offer full-time and part-time care options. Part-time care is available in full-day increments.
What safety measures are in place for children on-site?
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our facility features secure entrances, age-appropriate equipment, trained and certified staff, and a safe, fenced-in playground. We also follow state health and safety regulations.
What programs are available during the summer months?
We offer a fun and educational Summer Camp Program that includes outdoor adventures, themed weeks, crafts, STEM activities, and more. It is available for children of all ages, including school-aged children who are on summer break.
