One of 13 Child Care Centers in Valley area under supervision of California State Department of Education, children attend school between 6:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. While parents work. A long day necessitates program balanced between quiet and active play geared to age range. The children receive health care, nutrition, rest and guidance in play activities. The six full-time staff members are alert to situations to give children opportunities for learning. It is a school where children of pre-school age learn the beginning steps toward inner control.
