Director's Comments

Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?


Our center bases its student to teacher ratios on the ages of the children. Thus the youngest twos are 6:1, the older twos 8:1, the younger threes 9/10:1 and the older threes 12:1. All four year old classes are 12:1 and all afterschool programs function on a 14:1 basis. We serve hot lunches, two snacks and breakfast to children who arrived prior to 7:30 am each day.
