As part of an open house for anyone interested in visiting our new, state-of-the-art child care center, our staff and children will be saluting our veterans and military personnel with their own personal art work which, through the USO, we will share with local Veteran groups and military personnel currently deployed. Children and families visiting our beautiful, brand new, state-of-the-art Family Life Child Care Center of Berea will also have the opportunity to create their own art work which will be sent to our military personnel deployed throughout the world.
The Family Life Child Care Centers work each day to provide children with the highest quality care. We want to teach children the importance of giving back to their community and have embraced this opportunity to honor our veterans with special art work created by the children in our community. Everyone is invited to participate in this celebration. Additionally, children and families will have the opportunity to tour our facility, learn about our high-quality programming and meet the staff.
Our centers are rated higher than 96% of all other licensed child care centers in the State of Ohio. We provide children with a structured and proven learning curriculum that nurtures, stimulates and unlocks their development and potential. Our centers provide an environment where children learn to work with others and where they are prepared them for success in kindergarten. Our staff are well trained and work to provide a safe and nurturing environment for each child.
This Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2009, plan to help us pay tribute to our Veterans and Military Personnel; check out our state-of-the-art center; and join us in the festivities at the Family Life Child Care Center of Berea (555 Bagley Road - just west of Lindberg Boulevard) from 9:30am-6:00pm.
