Where are you located?

How do you keep families engaged?

We host fun family events all year long, such as our Fall Festival, Grandparents’ Breakfast, Thanksgiving Feast, Parent–Teacher Open House Night, and Daughter–Dad Dance. These events bring families together and create lasting memories.

How do you keep parents updated about their child’s day?

Parents receive daily reports including naps, meals, activities, and special moments. Plus, you’ll get regular updates on your child’s milestones and progress.

What curriculum do you follow?

We nurture the mind, body, and strength (MBS!) of each child with a curriculum that blends play and structured learning — supporting early literacy, math, creativity, problem-solving, and social-emotional growth.

How do you handle safety and security?

Your child’s safety comes first. We maintain secure entry systems, background-checked staff, and CPR/First Aid-certified teachers. Classrooms and playgrounds are designed with safety at the center.

What is your approach to guidance and discipline?

We use positive guidance techniques — encouraging problem-solving, teaching empathy, and building independence. Our goal is to help children feel confident and capable.

Do you offer progress reports?

Yes! Teachers track growth in all areas of development and share updates during Parent–Teacher Conferences and throughout the year.

How do I enroll my child?

Enrollment begins with a tour, followed by completion of our application and the required forms. Spots fill quickly, so we recommend securing your child’s place early. Families love choosing MBS not just for our warm, enriching programs — but also for our convenient location, family events, and strong community feel.
