 "Educare" is educational childcare which is provided in a home away from home atmosphere that provides a  well-rounded educational and developmental program for your child.  While your child is in our care, their activities are planned to provide comprehensive learning, positive experiences, self esteem building, socialization, and preschool instruction for children of appropriate age and development.  We also do our very best to provide these important elements through planning their activities to include the mandatory element for a young child which is just plain fun.
