Child Start is Moving!

We are excited to announce that Child Start is moving to a new space in Parklane Shopping Center! The new space is located just North of the current office, but will occupy both the top and lower levels of the shopping center! We estimate that we will be in the new space starting in January. However, at this time we are unable to determine a move date. Stay tuned to the Child Start Playground and the Child Start Facebook page for move updates!

Let Us Bring A Professional Development Event To You!

Bring Child Start trainings to your child care center or preschool to receive high-quality professional development for all of your staff. Contact Jacquette Thompson at jthompson@ childstart.org for more information.
