“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for
children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

- Mr. Rogers

Our Providers Are Top-Notch!

We love working with our Providers and we’re sure you will too. Their first priority is to provide a safe and loving environment for your child—hugs included!

All our Providers maintain regular first aid/CPR certification and vulnerable sector police checks. We develop solid relationships with them, beginning with our extensive application process and continuing on through many years of working together, all while supporting their home day cares. They’re an integral part of our team!
