Full-Time Child Care with a Focus on Growth and Learning

All Star Daycare and Preschool offers full-day child care services for children ages six weeks through kindergarten. We provide a nurturing, dependable, and educational setting where children are cared for by trained professionals and supported through every stage of development.

Our goal is to create a structured yet flexible environment that meets the needs of working families while fostering meaningful learning and social interaction for every child.

What’s Included in Our Day Care Program

We go beyond babysitting. Our day care program blends care, education, and routine to help children thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively.

Features of our day care:



• Age-specific rooms and activities
  
  
• Daily meals: breakfast, lunch, and two snacks included
  
  
• State-licensed staff and facility
  
  
• Indoor and outdoor playtime
  
  
• Open-door policy for parents
  
  
• Acceptance of child care assistance programs

Children benefit from consistency, attention, and positive reinforcement—all of which are at the heart of our daily routines.

A Safe and Caring Environment

Every child deserves a space where they feel secure and supported. Our facility is monitored, cleaned daily, and organized for safety at all age levels. Staff members follow state licensing guidelines and are trained in CPR, first aid, and child development best practices.

Each classroom is tailored to age-specific needs, from soft flooring and sensory toys in the infant room to group tables and activity centers in our preschool space.

Partnership with Parents

We believe child care is a shared journey between educators and parents. Our open-door policy encourages daily communication, visits during hours, and honest feedback. Families are welcome to observe or join their child’s day at any time.

We also help parents navigate enrollment paperwork, state assistance applications, and transitions between age groups.
