| Children are the next leaders of our world and we must train them to be responsible adults. It is a great responsibility for us when you entrust your child to our care. Children mature at their own rate. Our job is to provide a rich environment of learning experiences, tools, and opportunities to increase their knowledge base; all in a hands-on approach. This allows the child to fall back on these experiences when they begin to read and do math. It will then all make sense and come together. Children at the preschool age learn through play. Our teachers love children and enjoy seeing new milestones reached. We are continually learning new ways to help children learn. Each teacher is required to have 20 hours of Early Childhood training each year or be enrolled in classes for an Early Childhood Education Degree as well as be registered with IdahoSTARS Professional Development System. Our center met the accreditation standards by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in 2003, 2008, 2013, 2018. Our staff is also certified in CPR and First Aid.
