Butterfly is owned and operated by licensed and experienced teachers. We have taught and developed curriculum for children of all ages in many different areas: social, academic, physical and emotional. Students are required to enter first grade recognizing the alphabet, knowing all the letter sounds, recognizing numbers from 1 to 20, and able to read and write own name. Without these basic skills, your child will be retained at the end of the year.

Because we are aware of the problem, we have set up this daycare to expose children as young as 2 to the educational standards. Our goal is to prepare your child to enter kindergarten and first grade ready to meet the new educational standards upon completing our program.

The success of our program is due to the experience of our qualified staff who are well acquainted with the rigors of being good teachers. They are highly committed, dedicated, and full of vision and energy.

We are very enthusiastic at the prospect of becoming your child's new school.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
