We deeply care about the health and wellness of everyone, and to assure we are taking necessary precautions, the following procedures are in place…

Hand Washing
Adults and children wash and sanitize hands upon arrival and throughout the day
Facility & Equipment Sanitizing
Our dedicated staff is putting extensive effort into sanitizing and disinfecting our center, all touchable surfaces and toys each night.
Space for Small Groups
Space for small group sizes and lots of time to grow, learn and discover among our towering Fir Trees and Fern gardens.
