It is our commitment as professional to acknowledge responsibility first to our children and their parents or family. We understand developing a positive relationship with parents on what is in the best interest of the child’s overall development, while at all times relating to the concerns and values of the parent.

Our teaching staff will offer a stimulating learning environment for all age levels of children in our care while using the most modern methods in approaching different areas of learning and activities in early childhood education.

Safety is very important at Jefferson Place and we have measures in place to address our children needs. Only approved family and friends are allowed to pick up your child. Staff is trained in all emergencies and evacuation procedures. All outdoor play areas and equipment is well-maintained and inspected daily. Our center is cleaned in detail every day and throughout the day as needed.

Our well balanced home cooked meals help your child stay focused and grow strong, along with the 90 minutes of physical activity provided each day.

Our Teachers

Jefferson Place teachers are very passionate about your child’s growth and happiness. This is more than a job to our teachers as we provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children to grow, learn, and develop a positive self-esteem. Our low teacher-to-staff ratios allow our teachers to focus on the individual learning styles and needs of each child in our center.
