How the Children spend their day
Children are provided with numerous daily opportunities to engage with both adult caregivers and their peers. Infants follow individualized schedules, with naps and feedings offered based on the children needs. Toddlers and preschoolers participate in consistent daily routines that include planned, age‑appropriate learning experiences. Older preschoolers engage in a wide range of center activities, such as dramatic play, block building, and early science, math, and music exploration.
In addition, children have access to art, water, and sand activities that support sensory development. Our outdoor play areas offer ample space for gross motor skill growth and active play.
Our Staff
Our staff is composed of highly qualified professionals with diverse educational backgrounds and extensive experience in Early Childhood Education. In accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina Division of Child Development, all team members participate in ongoing continuing education to support continuous professional growth.
All staff members maintain current certifications in CPR, First Aid, and SIDS. We are proud to have significant staff longevity across our programs, including more than 75 combined years of experience among our Leadership Team alone.

Snacks and meals
Nutritious meals and snacks are prepared and delivered to the centers by the hospital’s Nutritional Services Department. A variety of meal selections are offered daily, including vegetarian options, to accommodate the diverse needs of the children we serve.
