Our Approach:

Home child care programs provide a home away from home for young children, and each one accommodates up to six (6) children from infants to 12 years of age.

Our Child Care Providers are self-employed and share in the values and beliefs of our organization and understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and families. The lower ratios and flexibility each home can offer helps to build those strong connections right from the start.
