About Us:
Ethel's is no ordinary childcare center. No, we are not babysitters. We educate our babies in the midst of their growth and development. We provide excellent care to each and every child in our care as they learn and grow. Our classes are large enough for the small number of children that will occupy the space. Our classes are in small groups so your child will experience a lot of one-on-one interactions with the teacher and students, learning what no other child their age is learning elsewhere. The children in other classes will mix when playing in our indoor playrooms and during outdoor play times. Lots of interaction between child/child, child/teacher, teacher/parent, teacher/teacher, child/parent we aim for success at Ethel's. Yes, each child will experience one on one interactions with their teacher daily. Class work is taken home every Friday, so yes you will see what Ethel provides and teach your child on a weekly basis. You will quickly notice the difference in your child learning experiences and behavior as they are attending at Ethel's. We help with homework and tutor as needed (administered by college students/staff) to our school age children. Three of our employees are certified to conduct screenings of every child enrolled at Ethel's. We are all CPR Certified. We are a Better Beginnings Level 1 facility meaning we meet the need to provide and equip your little love one to their full potential. We strive to give our very best at Ethel's. We implement daily curriculum's: Adventures for Toddlers for ages 18 months to 36 months and Adventures in Learning for ages 3 to 5 years old. Transportation is provided.
