Parent/Staff Communication:​ We use an application called ​Procare Connect​ - this app can be installed on mobile devices in order to view meals, naps, activities, etc, as well as send direct messages to your child’s teacher if you have questions/concerns.

Security:​ We are a locked center at all times to ensure the safety of all children within our care. Key cards allow parents access to the building during drop off and pick up times.
