Since we opened our doors in 1982, our purpose has been to serve families by providing quality care and education for children six weeks of age through pre-kindergarten in a non-profit child development center and preschool.

Description:
Our high quality care includes a commitment to educational excellence with a whole-child focus, a variety of developmentally sound activities including a physical education program, multicultural experiences, early literacy, kindergarten preparedness, creative art, music, and educational toys, USDA nutritional standards, exceptional health and safety standards including video monitoring for all classrooms and security access codes for caregivers, and most importantly, a highly trained staff with teacher-child ratios far below the state requirement. We have collaborative partnerships with Arkansas State University, University of Arkansas, Arkansas Early Childhood Association, and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Through these important partnerships, we work tirelessly to improve early childhood education in Arkansas.

History:
We have been serving Northwest Arkansas since 1982. We are a product of Mrs. Helen Walton’s vision to improve the quality of child care for Northwest Arkansas children. Since our inception, our goal has been to provide whole child development that is affordable to a wide range of families in Northwest Arkansas and the surrounding communities.
