Program/Activities Our daily planning provides lots of unique activities for the children that are geared towards early child hood programming for grades K-2nd.  The children have a daily structured routine, which provides a balance between quiet homework time and active social engagement.   Weekly programming is designed around a theme, activities are planned to assist children with cognitive, physical, social and emotional development.  Each month the center focuses on a character trait to reinforce values such as respect and kindness.  In addition a country is featured each month to enrich and broaden the children's cultural knowledge.

Staff Our staff have educational backgrounds and experience directly related to school age childcare.  They are highly energetic and creative individuals who love to have fun with the children and try lots of interesting projects. Programming By providing a variety of activities, our program offers enriching, relaxing, fun-oriented experiences.  We always keep in mind that children are unique and develop at varying intervals.  We encourage each child to use his/her potential and we provide new experiences for growth. It is our purpose to help each child develop to the best of his/her individual ability and to provide an atmosphere in which the child can learn to share and be a supportive member of a team.
