Hours

We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Philosophy

We believe that people can combine positive parenting with the pursuit of a career or education. Parents can feel comfortable knowing that their child is being cared for in a warm, nurturing environment. To the children, it feels secure and reassuring.

Safe and Pleasant Child-Oriented Environment

It's a stuffed jungle in here!

The center is a warm, nurturing, healthy, developmentally sound environment encouraging children to develop emotionally, spiritually, socially, physically, and cognitively. The facility is brand new, and state-of-the-art. And the Joni & Stanley Tate Early Childhood Center has been planned according to N.A.E.Y.C. (National Association for the Education of Young Children) standards. It is a place of wonder!

Infant and Toddler Program

The center's home-like environment has been carefully planned for infants and toddlers to foster discovery learning and exploration. A Primary caregiver is assigned to each family. What's more, we're nursing mother friendly!

Preschool Program

Individualized age-appropriate curriculum for optimum growth and development that promotes a positive self-image and independence.

Judaic Program

Positive experiences in Jewish living are created through the celebration of Shabbat every Friday, and the study and celebration of Jewish holidays by way of storytelling, song, dance and arts and crafts.

Experienced Professional Staff

Skilled staff trained in child development methods provide an opportunity for children to explore and experiment...to question and guess...to try again...through hands on direct learning experiences.

Excellent teacher to child ratio and small group sizes.
