Picture identification is required when picking up children.  Each classroom is equipped with video cameras that are monitored from the front office.
Our playgrounds are fenced in on either side of our building.
The Cuddle Zone's philosophy is to provide opportunities for meaningful learning experiences in a safe nurturing environment.
These encounters are based on each child's needs, interests, challenges, and abilities. We provide our infants and toddlers with just the right amount of stimulation to promote and contribute to their development.
For our older children, Preschool through School Age, our curriculum emphasizes fine and gross motor skills and cognitive, visual, and auditory development through adult and peer interaction.
