The process of finding quality child care is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. Recent research about how rapidly babies’ brains grow and develop underscores the importance of the first three years for getting your baby off to a good start. It is during these early years that the brain makes the connections necessary for learning and establishes a foundation for your child’s future.

During the preschool years, children learn social skills and values, organize ideas, explore, experiment, and begin to understand the world around them. Their environment needs to offer them opportunities to enhance related areas of development by offering space to play and help others, new experiences and new materials, and opportunities to involve themselves in everyday life experiences.
