Our Mission
Empowering Growth, Through Play
At our daycare, we believe in the power of learning through play, inspired by the foundational theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. We create a nurturing environment where children can explore, discover, and grow, fostering their cognitive and social development. By encouraging collaborative play and hands-on experiences, we lay the groundwork for lifelong learning. Our mission is to empower each child to reach their full potential while building essential skills in a fun and engaging atmosphere.
Parent's Voices
"The staff really cares and it shows. Love that they give kids the space to be kids. Our son has done well there and made a lot of friends."
"What stands out the most is how much she adores her teachers, referring to them as her 'besties.' They are now using the Brightwheel app to provide multiple pictures daily which is a delight to see. We highly recommend Sugar Plum to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, learn, and feel truly supported!"
"I have gotten to know all of the teachers over the years and they really do care about the kids."
