Developing lives, families, and communities… one child at a time. A child’s education starts long before five-year-old Kindergarten. Developing a child’s path to a higher learning before school age is essential to the growth of our youth. That is why, at Especially Children Child Development Center, we have a passion for preparing children to go beyond “the norm.” We take a profound interest in the knowledge of each child. Children need a safe, loving and nurturing environment to grow. Their surroundings are equally important. Especially Children Child Development Center provides the best quality child care for infants thru school-age. With over 25 years of experience, we have what it takes to develop your child’s intellectual skills. Children are like sponges, always soaking up everything around them. Therefore it is important that we keep curriculum fun and stimulating. Our number one priority is to educate children spiritually, academically, and physically before they goto kindergarten. This sets up the foundation for your child to excel throughout their school career and ultimately throughout their lives. Social skills such as, sharing and taking turns are also important lessons at this age and are practiced throughout the day. When the weather is nice, you can find us making outdoors a classroom. Our large play areas offer children plenty of room to run and explore. At Especially Children, we strive to keep rates as low as possible allowing all families the option of affordable quality child care. We also accept all subsidized government programs. Especially Children is a participant of the CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) which mandates us to provide a full breakfast, hot lunch and a snack daily. All of our meals and snacks are required to be nutritious and well balanced while still being child friendly. We have an open door policy where parents are always welcome. We know a successful program cannot be run without quality teachers. We realize how important it is for parents and teachers to work as a team. Therefore, open communication between parents and teachers is a must. We know parents or guardians have to work, and by providing a safe and loving place to leave their children, they can work worry-free. We embrace all cultures and serve a diverse set of families. It is our goal to create a home away from home for your children, somewhere they look forward to going every day. We look forward to the opportunity to serve your family. Call or stop by any time to take a tour and learn about our programs. Our staff will be pleased to meet you. [read more]
