Family Support Program

Great starts begin with access, so we understand the importance of affordable and accessible education. We offer competitive tuition rates tailored to provide exceptional value for the exceptional care and education your child receives. Our rates vary based on your child’s age and the number of days they will need care. Additionally, we accept subsidies and work with organizations like National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) for reduced tuition and tuition assistance. Through all of these, we support families in their journey towards providing their children with a nurturing and enriching early learning experience.

These strategies, as well as our biting policy, can be found in our Parent Handbook. Childcare Network schools have numerous safety procedures in place to protect children. Many of our schools have a keyless entry pad on the main entrance or an interior lobby door to ensure only authorized staff or family members have access to our building. Upon enrolling your child, you will receive a code to enter the building. If you have notified us that a friend or family member will be picking up your child, we will verify their identity before they are allowed access to the building for pick-up. For the safety of all our children, we do not allow parents to provide their own food.

Our friendly team of educators are just a phone call or message away, eager to assist you every step of the way as you embark on this joyful and rewarding educational journey with us. We believe that discipline is the helpful guidance, encouragement and support that adults use to influence children. It is not founded in punishment or rules and restrictions, but in teaching children to resolve problems and seek solutions themselves. Appropriate discipline helps children learn how to interact and develop self-control. Our staff and teachers at Childcare Network utilize these concepts and follow a developmentally appropriate strategy for handling classroom discipline.
