As we stated on our home page, Praising Kids Child Care Center’s primary mission is to provide affordable, high quality child care for the families of our area.
Our positive environment promotes a child’s self-confidence, coping strategies, healthy habits, and a solid early education; all achieved by our nurturing staff through positive play, appropriate affirmations, and a stellar curriculum.
We strive to be an asset to our community in order to ensure a brighter future for our children.
