Our Philosophy
Child Focus believes children are ready for school when they are physically healthy, have engaged in positive experiences with other children, are learning to manage their feelings, have good communication skills and are enthusiastic and curious about learning. Our early childhood professionals follow best practices and research based curricula to create learning environments that support the individual growth and development of children which promote physical well-being, motor development, social, emotional and language development, cognition and general knowledge.
Our Accreditation
The Step Up to Quality rating recognizes early care and education programs that exceed quality benchmarks over and above minimum health and safety licensing standards. The program is based on national research identifying the key benchmarks that lead to improved outcomes for children. Child Focus is proud to operate highly rated Step Up To Quality centers.
