Our hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 6:45am-5:30pm.
We are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Child Care Licensing Division.

Conveniently located 1.5 miles from Highway 14, our facility is located on 2 acres, providing an expansive fenced in outdoor area. Additionally, our 2 large rooms can accommodate 14 Toddlers and 20 Preschoolers.
Our staff are comprised of full-time members, fostering our value of consistency and developing family partnerships.
Our curriculum components are designed to help all children work towards developmental milestones set by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and Department of Education. We value open lines of communication and family partnerships; as such parents will often find daily conversations about their child’s day a norm in our environment. Additionally, formal conferences are offered twice yearly using the Teaching Strategies Gold as a guide.
