Philosophy

Chase’s Child Care Corner is dedicated to help your child reach his/her fullest potential. Your child’s comforts and needs are always a priority. The care is personal and individualized to enhance your child’s growth and sense of well-being. The child-to-adult ratio remains small in a family child care with consistent care provided every day. Your questions, comments and input are important so we can work as a team to achieve the very best experiences for your child.

At Chase’s Child Care Corner, your child will have the opportunity to gain practice in cognitive, language, fine motor, large motor, social-emotional and self-help skills through age appropriate activities, also known as Developmentally Appropriate Practice techniques. These skills will help your child build his/her self-esteem and prepare him/her for future life skills. Each child is treated with respect and love and is offered a positive learning environment.
