Dedicated to Health, Safety, and Security

Since 1992!

Our mission to build a happy community is rooted in our promises of health and safety.

We promise our children:

That we will respect their right to learn in a safe, clean and child-friendly environment. We believe that care and education are equally important and interdependent facets of early childhood.

We promise our parents:

Peace of mind that their children are in an environment where health and safety are the top priorities. We give careful attention to cleanliness, handwashing, nutrition and other health and safety routines.

We promise our teachers:

A clean and safe environment where they will feel supported, encouraged and appreciated. Our teachers are able to focus on education, with assurance that equipment and facilities are clean, safe and secure.

Cleanliness & Sanitation
