Physical health and development are as critical to a child's learning ability as any other area of development. Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers all have designated playgrounds that they access each day. Growing up healthy also requires safe and age appropriate opportunities for physical activity in an environment that builds good habits and positive attitudes.


We know mornings sometimes to not go as we plan.  Mornings can be challenging and getting out of the house is sometimes a huge achievement.  We offer a light breakfast from 7 a.m.. to 8 a.m.. for our Toddler and Preschool programs.  We offer items such as cereal, waffles, or pancakes or similar items.
