Our Daily Philosophy
Every part of our day has a purpose. Through consistent routines, nurturing relationships, age-appropriate learning, positive guidance, and plenty of opportunities to play, we support the development of the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
Our schedule may be adjusted when necessary based on the ages, developmental needs, weather, special activities, and individual needs of the children in our care.
Love, Trust, and Guidance — that's the iCareDaycare way.
