FROM THE OWNERS
Our number one priority is the safety of your children. We have enacted these policies to address the current guideline regarding COVID-19.
As policies are relaxed, we hopefully can relax our policies in accordance with State and County guidelines. PLEASE REMEMBER that as guidelines are issued, we must adhere to the County Guidelines if they are stricter than the State Guidelines
We are here to answer any of your questions. Feel free to E-MAIL US THROUGH THE STORE with ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS and we will respond to you as to how we can or cannot address that idea.
