Philosophy and Mission

The mission of the Child Care program is to provide quality early care and education in a supervised setting to empower children to become responsible, healthy, functioning adults.

The first five years of a child's life are the formative years, as they develop the habits that will stay with them the rest of their lives. This is why we believe that parents should have knowledge about all aspects of our programs. We encourage every parent to visit and meet our teachers and want them to be knowledgeable about the level of care being provided to their child. Parents are a child's first and most important teacher. We want to partner with you to nurture your children in a safe environment where they can grow in emotional, social, physical and cognitive ways each day.

Staff Qualifications

As a DPW registered facility, Children's Aid Society ensures that each child care teacher meets state and agency requirements before they are entrusted with children. All teachers complete 15 hour orientation within their first 60 days of employment. State police, Childline and FBI clearances are required as well as annual health assessments and fire safety. All staff must current First Aid training and have the option to certify annually in C.P.R.  Staff also must complete a minimum of 24 hours child specific training annually. 

All of our programs are organized to assure that children are supervised by trained staff from the moment they arrive to the time they leave each day.
