About Company

Full Heart Child Care is a privately-owned childcare organization that models a play-based learning curriculum for Infants through PreK (ages 6 months to 5 years). At Full Heart, we not only believe in play-based learning but also process-based activities where children can grow and learn through their own mistakes.

At Full Heart Child Care, it is our belief that every child is entitled to a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. We believe that the spiritual and emotional development of a child is just as important as the intellectual. Our teachers deliver individualized care and support for each child that cultivates a setting in which every child can learn and love to their fullest potential. At Full Heart, we teach and practice the ideas of full acceptance for those of different races, religions, and abilities. Above all else, we are in the business of filling hearts, enriching minds, and inspiring the souls of every child in our care.
