Our mission is to create a loving, safe and enjoyable environment for your child while promoting Christian values and a love of learning.
We do this by providing developmentally appropriate activities, encouraging exploration, fostering healthy relationships between child and adult, supporting positive interactions between children and following the Department of Family and Protective Services Minimum Standards.
