Atwater Park Center

Day Care

Research points repeatedly to the positive influence of play in a young child's life. Play encourages imagination, imitation, communication and the development of abstract thought. Because play should come from within the child and not be forced on a child, our philosophy respects a child's right to choose play themes meaningful to him or her. Children go through many stages in their young lives of creating characters to enact through play. These characters mean something important to the child and our program encourages them to express themselves while respecting the rights of others. No child is forced to play, although we actively encourage all children to get involved in active, robust play. Our curriculum is play-based with an eclectic mix of the Creative Curriculum and the Emergent Curriculum and stresses creativity, sensory and language development.

APC childcare will consistently provide the best possible start in life for your child. Here, children come together to learn and play in a caring, real-world environment, helping you spend your working day with peace of mind. Upon entering our doors, children will encounter highly trained teachers leading a wide variety of developmentally appropriate activities with a common goal: To lay the cornerstones of a successful life.

    Love this place! Both my boys have been there and every teacher is friendly, warm and really give them the kind of care parents hope for. Also, it is really a joy to see the senior citizens that are eating lunch there every day since the building is shared with a church. Nothing but great things to say about this place!

    APC has been a game changer for our family. Our son and daughter love the teachers and their classmates. Every day she came home with finished art projects with updates from her teachers about she did that day. The administration feel like family. Highly recommended.

    From my experience, this school has been the best! My daughter LOVED coming to school, her teachers were amazing and well qualified. Teacher Ricky, Violet &Abraham were my daughters teachers and within a short time , I've seen improvement in her. Those five stars are for them! They treated her so well and will always be grateful for them & Bertha as well for giving her a chance to attend! Definitely recommend. THANK YOU A MILLION ATWATER PARK CENTER!!

    Atwater Park Center is an amazing and inclusive preschool which my son, Max, attended. We feel blessed beyond words to have had the loving, nurturing care of everyone who worked there - and most of them continue to do so today! APC provided a safe environment where he could receive the early-intervention services he needed. The Center and the amazing people who work there made a tremendous positive impact on his development. Max is a smart, athletic, caring, well-rounded young man today!
