Childgarden Early Childhood Center is currently enrolling new students, and invites prospective families to an afternoon Open House to tour the center and meet the director.
The mission of Childgarden is to provide high quality early care and education to children of all abilities and their families by embracing diversity, building relationships, and having fun while learning. Conveniently located in the Central West End, Childgarden is an inclusive childcare center for children birth through six years old.
At Childgarden, a child's natural curiosity about the world around them is nurtured and explored through play and focused activities that lead them to want to learn more. Lesson plans are based on the interests of the children and they are encouraged to question, express their opinions, and challenge their current way of thinking. Children are offered a wide variety of rich materials that can be incorporated into their play or artistic expression. Childgarden's quality, inclusive education enables children of all ability levels to reach their full potential.
Stop by the Open House on Oct. 13 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
