What we Offer

We Provide Child Care for Children ages 0-5

Curriculum

Our program is guided by the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards (RIELS), which outline clear expectations for what young children should know and be able to do at each stage of development. These standards provide a shared framework for educators and families, helping us measure growth, support progress, and ensure that every child reaches important learning milestones.
