services
At Mary Crane, we focus on what knowledge children bring to the
classroom and we expand on that existing knowledge. We utilize a Creative Curriculum that seeks to serve the whole child by focusing on
social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Your child's
ideas and interests help determine what he/she learns each day.
Our
teachers have either master's or bachelor's degrees in the field of early childhood education, or Child Development Certification.
