We understand a decision to select a childcare facility can be stressful for the whole family; we are sensitive to your feeling as well as your child’s. Whether it is your and your child’s first experience or a change in your current childcare situation is required, we will make the transition an easy, calm and positive one for the whole family.

Our Philosophy
Much more than just a childcare center
We are an Educational Playground committed to excellence in care and education. We employ professional, college degreed teachers as well as associate staff, guided under the supervision of Ellen Daniels, Founder and Administrator Director. Ellen is committed to assure a highly informed, well-educated and dynamic faculty, dedicated to the quality care and education of each child.
Our students are guided in developing a healthy self-image
Learning skills for conflict resolution and creating lasting friendships.
Our Curriculum
Children work in groups and pairs
Our Curriculum offers children the opportunity to work in groups and pairs, as well as the freedom to choose individual activities. Students are encouraged to explore and create at their own pace through curriculum lesson plans executed at an individual level for each child. Children are also taught to share in the responsibility of maintaining an orderly environment.
Our students are guided in developing a healthy self-image and the awareness of the feelings of those around them. We believe, through our example and guidance, children will learn skills for conflict resolution and creating lasting friendships.
Open door policy
Parents may freely call or visit our center, unannounced, as often as they would like!
