My goal for the children is for them to develop the self confidence and ethics needed to become a productive member of society by providing them with a loving, fun, safe and caring environment in which to learn these skills in.

Ever since I was in Preschool, I knew I wanted to teach. I loved seeing the excitement that would build when the teacher was working with us and the joy we felt when we achieved our goal. The pride I felt in my accomplishments and those of the kids around me marked the point I knew what I wanted to do for my career. As I continued to work on my education, I came to work with children in the before and after school setting. While working with these children I felt fueled by the same excitement I have felt as a child and knew this was where I belonged.

"My child has been in childcare since she was 6 months old, and Aim High is the most stable, proactive, and enriching daycare she has attended thus far. Not only do I love, Aim High, my child loves does too! The staff is consistent and friendly and keep the children engaged with lessons and crafts throughout the day. After schools went back to in person, Aim High continues to help my child succeed by completing and helping her with her homework. "
