Security Measures that Keep Children Safe and Provide You a Sense of Security

A passcode-secured entrance, fenced-in playgrounds, and video surveillance are precautionary measures that keep your child safe.

As a mom, feeling safe and secure leaving your child with people you trust is #1!

They love, care and invest in my child and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Teaching Your Child to Be Safe with Proactive Safety Practices

Under the watchful guidance of teachers, playful reminders like singing the “walking feet” song, are proactive ways to stop accidents from happening. These essential preventative practices are adhered to all of the time and are a fun way for kids to learn and follow safety rules.

Secured Doors And Video Surveillance Keep Children Safe

Anyone entering the facilities do so through a secure entrance, and the area has video surveillance at all times. Another safety precaution is our fenced-in yards, which allow children to play freely outside, in total peace and safety.

We Put a Premium on Quality Outdoor Play!

Exciting outdoor playtime begins right in our own spacious fenced backyard. Dynamic play equipment, padded astroturf & ample room to just run are awaiting your child. Additionally, nearby Manthey Park is the periodic destination for much anticipated walks and playtime outings.

In-House Special Events Broaden Your Child’s Horizons

For convenience community members, such as the police and fire departments, Riverbend Nature Center, and the Rad Zoo, visit the center and engage with your child. In addition, a wealth of celebrations and holiday events round out the calendar.
