Come and see the rooms before you read a word of this.

A licensed centre in Platte City. Tours are Tuesday and Thursday mornings while the day is actually running, because a centre at nine in the morning tells you more than any brochure.

In this order

What a tour walks through

The same route every family takes, and you are welcome to stay as long as you want in any room.

1

The entry and the sign-in

Coded door, one way in, and every adult signs in and out. You will be asked for ID on the first visit and that is on purpose.

The entrance hallway with a keypad beside the door and a sign-in clipboard on a low counter.
2

The infant room

One adult to four babies. Cots, a separate sleep area, and a written log of every feed, change and nap that goes home with you.

An infant room with four wooden cots, a soft floor mat and a rocking chair by the window.
3

The toddler and pre-K rooms

One to six and one to ten. Low shelves at child height, real materials, and work displayed at their eye level rather than ours.

A pre-K room with low open shelving, trays of materials and small chairs at a low table.
4

The yard

Fenced, shaded from noon, separate areas so the two year olds are not out with the four year olds.

The fenced play yard, a shade sail over a small climbing frame with grass beyond the fence.
A row of wooden cubbies along a hallway, small backpacks on the pegs and rubber boots lined up underneath in the morning light.

Weekly, full time
