Our mission is to elevate child development to a new level by leading the social, emotional growth, and education of young children while providing a safe, welcoming, home-like environment with a caring, educated and professional staff that promotes partnerships with parents, children, and other childhood professionals.
COVID-19 UPDATE

Due to the increase in numbers of Covid-19 in our community and nationwide, we are asking all individuals dropping off and picking up children to wear a mask.

DCFS is still requiring that all adults and children over the age of 2 wear a mask inside of our building. We are requesting all adults to wear a mask at drop off and pick up, no matter vaccination status. Please remember that the majority of our population are not eligible for the vaccine and safety is our priority.

August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month

A good rule of thumb is to have your children’s eyes examined during well-child visits, beginning around age three. Your child’s eye doctor can help detect refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism as well as the following diseases:
  • Amblyopia (lazy eye)
  • Strabismus (crossed eyes)
  • Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid)
  • Color deficiency (color blindness)
If you or your doctor suspects that your child may have a vision problem, you can make an appointment with your local ophthalmologist for further testing. There are some specific warning signs that may indicate that your child has a vision problem. Some of these include: wandering or crossed eyes
  • A family history of childhood vision problems
  • Disinterest in reading or viewing distant objects
  • Squinting or turning the head in an unusual manner while watching television
