Serving Families with children 6 weeks old to 12 years old in McMinnville, Newberg, Layafette & Salem.
Our loving teachers will help your child to develop and work towards their independence. We keep in mind that every child has their own unique needs and motivations, and we always do our best to help them meet their developmental milestones. We look for gross and fine motor skills, social interactions and language development, including speech and comprehension.
We open at 7 am and offer extended care packages to accommodate most work schedules because we know childcare isn't only needed from 8am to 5 pm.
We know how expensive childcare can be and we aim to make it as affordable as possible. We offer monthly rates and allow for split payments!
We are currently enrolling for all age groups. Our childcare center will limit attendance to 15 children, with small group sizes. Please reach out today to reserve a space.
Every teacher that cares for your child will have a background check and fingerprints with the state and have current first aid, and CPR certifications. Additionally, on-going training hours in child development will be required to ensure the very best in care!
