What children learn here
A day here
A calm day with a rhythm children can count on.
Young children feel safe when they know what comes next. Every room follows the same order each day, with room for the moments that matter: a long look at a worm, a second story, a nap that runs late.
- The same steady order, every day
- Two outdoor times most days, in all but unsafe weather
- Play-based learning planned by trained teachers
Parent updates
You will know how the day went, before pickup.
Our parent app logs meals, naps, bottles and diapers as they happen, with a few photos and a short note from the teacher. It is also where you pay tuition and message the office.
- Every nap, bottle and diaper logged in real time
- Two or three photos a day, never posted publicly
- A short note from your child's teacher before you arrive
What a weekday looks like for you.
A real hand-off, every morning.
A teacher meets you at the classroom door, takes your child's hand or your baby from your arms, and writes down anything you share about the night or the morning. No rushing, and no leaving a crying child alone at the door.
- Doors open at 6:45 a.m.
- Keypad entry with your own family code
- Short parking spots right by the door
Play, meals, rest and fresh air.
Every room follows the same steady order each day: play, snack, outside, lunch, rest, then projects and outside again. Children know what comes next, which makes the day feel safe.
- Two outdoor times most days
- Breakfast, lunch and two snacks cooked here
- Naps in a quiet room, on your child's own cot or crib
A face-to-face word at the end of the day.
Pickup runs until 6:00 p.m. A teacher tells you one or two things about the day in person, even when the app already said it. If someone new is picking up, we check their photo ID against your list.
- Open until 6:00 p.m.
- Only adults on your pickup list
- Late pickup? Call and we will stay calm and keep your child busy

PARENTS, TODDLER ROOM

Questions parents ask first.

Do you have openings right now?
It depends on the room. Toddler and preschool spots open most often in August and January. Infant spots open least often. Call us or join the free waitlist, and we will tell you honestly where things stand for your child's age.
Why is tuition a range?
The lower number is our core day (8:00 to 5:00). The higher number is our extended day (6:45 to 6:00). You pick the one you need. For before and after school, the range runs from 3 to 5 days a week.
Do you accept child care assistance?
Yes. We accept state child care assistance. The program decides eligibility and your family share, and we help with the paperwork that comes from us.
How will I know how my child's day went?
Through the parent app: meals, naps, diapers or potty, photos and notes from the teacher. And a quick chat at pickup.
Are you licensed?
Yes. We are a licensed group child care center, inspected by the state. Our latest inspection report is at the front desk, and you are welcome to read it.

Tours run weekday mornings and late afternoons, or by video at lunch and after bedtime. Joining the waitlist is free.
