We are so fortunate to be one of the only childcare centers in the area with onsite playgrounds! The children typically have 2 hours a day (1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the afternoon) allotted for outside play, weather permitting. Our center is also equipped with a large indoor gross motor space to accommodate this type of play when the playground is not accessible.
As the only occupant in the building, all exterior doors remain locked from the outside at all times. Once a family enrolls, they are provided with a personal code to gain entry to the building. All visitors must be granted access to the building by a member of administration. This includes all deliveries and service providers.
Yes, there is parking at street level behind the playground for drop off and pick up.
Tuition varies by center, schedule and by individual classroom. To find out more information about tuition, please contact the center directly.
In addition to milk, the center provides a morning and afternoon snack. These menus are provided to families on a monthly basis. We also offer pizza on Fridays at a cost of a $1 per slice.

This depends on your child’s age, temperament, and level of maturity. General tips for preparing for the first day of child care include:
- Developing a relationship with your child’s teacher and keeping communication open
- Labeling all items
- Making sure your child has the essentials: bottles, extra clothes, diapers, blanket, and more
- Talking about the first day with your child
- Setting expectations for the new morning routine
- Getting ahead of separation anxiety by creating a “goodbye” routine together
Please submit an inquiry to your center(s) of interest with a request for tuition information. We recommend scheduling a visit at the same time (this can be done on the same form).
Safety is our top priority, and it’s part of our everyday routine. All of our centers follow expert-informed health, safety, and security policies and allergy protocols. Additionally, health, safety, and wellness are built right into our curriculum, and our classrooms and spaces are safely designed for learning and exploration.
