Before and After School Care Programs Site/Staff Information
All of our sites are licensed childcare centers under the supervision of the Department of Human Services. We undergo a yearly intensive review and many unannounced inspections. We meet or exceed all DHS licensing requirements.
The quality and effectiveness of our program is directly related to the skills and personal characteristics of our staff. Our staff are at least 18 years old and have prior experience working with children. The staff is selected for personal qualities of warmth, empathy and ability to relate positively to children. They receive multiple training opportunities. We conduct criminal background reports, central registry checks, pre-employment and random drug testing and motor vehicle report checks on all of our employees. At least one person at each site is First Aid and CPR certified. Rest assured that your children are in good hands while they are in our program.
