Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This is an old facility (established in 1952, but building is older than that) but her bumps and bruises only make it more of a homey atmosphere. The kids never lack for stimulation even though their equipment is not the latest model off the assembly line. Everything that is there is used to its best advantage and well loved.
