Our Main Child Development Center, Bldg 1350, is the larger of the two and offers infant through preschool care. The Annex Child Development Center, Bldg 1525, offers a smaller facility for pre-toddler through preschool child care. We are continually striving to provide the highest quality of childcare for the children. Throughout this growing process, we encourage parents to take an active role in the program. Parents are a vital link to the success of our program and the children's experiences in the Child Development Program. We invite parents to visit with the staff and spend time with their children at the centers. Again, we hope that you will entrust your child's care to us. We look forward to many positive experiences with you and your child. Immunization Requirements All children must have current immunizations in order to be enrolled at the Child Development Center.
