The most important thing you can do as a parent is create a consistent and reliable routine. We all function better with predictable routines, and your child is no different.

We do the same with our daily schedule: read at the same time every day, go outside at the same time, eat at the same time, and nap at the same time. This helps your child's internal clock adjust.

Please bring the basics: diapers, wipes, blanket, stuffed animal, and sunscreen. We provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. If your child needs a special diet, we'll coordinate with you.

And finally — we get dirty. Fresh air and the outdoors helps growth and development. Don't be surprised by a little dirt on the knees, and please send a change of clothes.

All children love learning. It is exciting, it is new, and it is fun. It's all about how the information is presented and how they get to participate.

We make learning fun by incorporating games, dancing, and music. Every child has a personality and a lot of energy — it's crucial that we let them express it and engage all of their senses.

At library time, the children pick the story. Even if they can't read yet, we ask them about what the characters are doing, and we pretend along with them.

Most people don't take time to appreciate the genius children already have inside of them. We actually learn a lot from the children.

Children are curious. They don't hold grudges. They live in the moment. They don't hide their feelings. These are things the rest of us could all learn from.

If you allow your child to express themselves, you will be surprised at how much they can expand your own worldview.

Every daycare is different because each is run by different people. We're proud to be the best daycare in Central Oregon — but we know we won't be the right fit for every family.

Tour as many daycares as you can. You'll often get a feeling about whether you're in the right place. Most of our parents say their child seemed comfortable while playing during the tour.

We give tours almost every day and would be happy to schedule one. You can also call with a quick question or for more information about how we structure our daycare.
