We pride ourselves in offering our MSDE Accredited preschool program for all children that receive child care with us. This allows working families to know their child is safe and well cared for, while also receiving a quality curriculum to enhance their child’s ability to learn through play. Our child care programs are unique in that all children also participate in our preschool program, which runs year-round.

Activities include art, music, outdoor play, imaginary playtime, and table games. Lunch and story time occur between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm followed by rest time until 3:00 pm. Families provide a packed lunch and can choose to bring breakfast for your child to have here if you are arriving before 8:00 am. We provide a healthy snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
