Our Story
Nursery Rhymes Child Care Center was founded with a simple mission: to provide a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment where children can develop the skills they need for lifelong success.
We understand that choosing a childcare provider is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. That’s why we are committed to creating a warm, inclusive space where children feel secure, build friendships, and develop confidence in their abilities. We will encourage manners and empathetic attitudes towards peers and staff. Our center will provide peace of mind to parents by providing educated, knowledgeable and experienced staff.

" Our daughter has been going to Nursery Rhymes since she was 3 months old, and we have been extremely happy with our experience from day one! We have been impressed with the wonderful, energetic, caring, attentive and kind teachers who create a positive and nurturing environment for children of all ages. The teachers and Ashley go above and beyond in creating a safe and engaging space where our toddler can learn, grow and explore. The variety of activities offered ranging from arts and crafts to outdoor play and educational songs ensures our toddler is constantly engaged and learning in a fun, interactive way. We have truly seen so much growth in our daughter’s social skills and language development in the last year and a half. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our daughter receives from her teachers. It is evident how much each of them cares and we feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful place for our toddler to spend her days! "

" We have been attending NRCCC since 2021 when our first child was born. We now have two children at the center (nursery and pre-k). As an educator myself, I am very happy with the staff at NRCCC. Teachers adhere to state curriculum standards while also working to establish a positive, supportive, and safe classroom environment filled with engaging activities. They are kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and very patient. The level of communication we receive is wonderful - from bathroom breaks to the day’s lessons to activities and fun photos - we feel connected to our children when we can’t be with them. I know our children are safe and well-cared for when I drop them off each morning…and the smiles they give their teachers when they see them could be it’s own review! "

" Having reliable, trustworthy childcare is priceless and Nursery Rhymes provides just that. The staff is kind, caring, and attentive. They provide age appropriate activities and education that aims to prepare kids to be responsible and respectful. On top of that, our daughter has been excelling in kindergarten thanks to their pre-k program! "
