About Us

At Carol Matheys Center for Children and Families we believe that all children are unique with individual development patterns. Each child will bring their own style, personality and background to our programs. All children will be given the freedom to express themselves and are encouraged to be independent.

We have been educating young learners for over 36 years and are proud to supply the community with high quality, affordable child care, early childhood education and family support.

We are a non-profit organization which prides itself in providing tuition assistance and field trip scholarships for families in need.
