Our Classrooms

Our state-of-the-art child development center was uniquely designed to provide an environment that encourages learning, exploration and growth. From our vibrant classrooms to our secure, outdoor playground, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to support early childhood development.

A spacious infant room complete with light, wood-colored padded floors and soft area rugs. A play area with a blue rug includes low shelving with storage bins of infant toys. Several small wooden cribs with mattresses are in the center of the room and a rocking chair sits in the corner.

Peggy Montes Playground

The Peggy Montes Playground, generously gifted by CSU alumna and philanthropist Peggy Montes, is an imaginative outdoor space designed to spark joy, encourage active play, and foster discovery in every child. It’s a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore, build friendships, and connect with nature.

Health and Safety

The health, safety and well-being of every child are our top priorities. We take several approaches to guarantee a safe and healthy environment for every child in our care.

Active Supervision & Security

We practice active supervision at all times with a low staff-to-child ratio, ensuring every child receives individual attention. Our transition procedures guarantee children move safely throughout the facility and playground, and security cameras are in place for added peace of mind.

Trained & Prepared Staff

Our staff is also trained in first aid and CPR, so they’re prepared to handle any situation with confidence.

Cleaning & Sanitizing

We ensure a hygienic environment for children with cleaning and sanitization performed throughout the day. To help us maintain a healthy environment for everyone, we respectfully request that children showing symptoms of illness remain at home.
