Childhood Services
Dear Parents/Guardians
You are entrusting one of your precious treasures to us, your children. We, the Childhood Education staff, will strive to provide the best possible care for each one. We will cooperate with you to help each child fully develop physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.
To do this, we need to know your child. Only you can provide us with the valuable insights we need to give the best care. We will work with you and we welcome your observations and suggestions. We encourage you to keep in close contact with your child's primary caregiver or teacher. Please remember that you are invited to join our activities.
It is our intent to provide your child with the opportunity to grow and develop in a center that is clean, safe and caring. We strive to staff our center with persons who are not only trained to educate, but committed to sharing the responsibility of caring for your child during these formative years. We believe that children at this age need a lot of tender loving care.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives. We will do our best to meet the needs of your family.
Sincerely,
F. Sam Azure
Dean of Childhood Education
