" I have been working in the early childhood education field for over 25 years.  My husband and I take pride in our accomplishments that we have worked very hard to achieve.  Running the daycare centers, my goal is for children to be well prepared for public school and to bring out the best they could be.  We want every parent to feel comfort and create a partnership with us that will last a lifetime.  Our teachers and assistants are strong and are always looking for ways to grow."                 - Jessica Rizitis
