Mary Home Daycare In Lakeview

The mission of Mary's home day care is to respect and to nurture a passion for learning in the young child.

Key Philosophical Points:
* Deep respect for children as individuals

* The environments are responsibly and carefully prepared with multisensory, sequential, and self-correcting materials to support self-directed learning.
