We are accredited!

For over 25 years we have worked tirelessly to create a model early childhood educational center for all children who walk, run, crawl or get carried through our doors!  Our last re-accreditation was in December 2021. We passed with a 96% overall!  For more information about NAEYC go to www.naeyc.org/
