Padonia Park Child Center

Ridge Country Childcare’s twenty years of success is owed to the love and guidance the director and staff have given to the children and parents who have attended the center. After the years of experience that followed Anne Chandlers degrees in English and Early Childhood Education, she enjoys knowing that children simply want and need their basic needs to be met in a timely manner. Caregivers being alert to their needs from birth to five allows children to accomplish higher learning both here in our preschool program and in their lives that lay ahead.

A Ridge Country Childcare teachers daily objective is to give children the following four types of basic-needs care each and every day:

1. Tender love- people who work in the center must be willing to express warmth, loving gestures, and reassurance to the children, staff, and parents.
2. Healthy playtime and sleep time- Ridge Country Childcares access to acres of outdoor exploring and exercise are followed by restful and quiet nap schedules.
3. Child-friendly food- morning snacks, lunches, and afternoon snacks of healthful food are included in the tuition, and are meals that children will enjoy and eat.
4. Guiding love- along with tender love, children are held consistently to rules of good behavior that promote self respect and respect for others.
