About Us

We have been serving the community since 1971 by providing comprehensive childcare to children of low-income and working families. We are a nationally accredited center and have been awarded the highest rating, 3-stars, by Georgia’s new accreditation program, Quality Rated. We provide services for 172 children during the months of August-May and approximately 100 children during the summer months of June and July.

Our Mission

To enable parents to continue employment and/or educational opportunities with the assurance that their child is well cared for in a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment. The ultimate goal of the Center is to provide an atmosphere that encourages a child’s self-esteem, confidence, and skills in order to be prepared for life experience.

Curriculum

Our thirteen classrooms utilize the Creative Curriculum. We believe young children learn best by doing. Through active involvement with their environment, children begin to enthusiastically learn about the world around them.
