 Our Child Care Center:
Our Center is secured for safety. Doors are locked
and require an entry code. The Director’s office is in the hallway
at the entrance of the Center so she can welcome anyone coming
in. Our open floor plan enables the children to be familiar with
all staff from every room. This encourages them to feel comfortable
anywhere in the Center.
Our facility is equipped with progressive play areas and individual
classrooms optimized for effective learning. Our environment is
bright in color and alive with activity—and we’re certain you’ll
find us unique. We hope you’ll visit and see for yourself.
Our Day:
Each classroom has a structured routine and classroom schedule,
individualized for each age group, providing age appropriate skills and activities.
We incorporate a variety of reading, math, science, art, sensory, songs, large & small
motor, and outside play to fill each day with lots of learning and fun.
 The Center also offers extra-curricular activities including
a dance class, Spanish class, and a Yoga class. These classes
are an additional cost to the family but are provided during the
classroom day and are conducted at the Center.
Meals are provided and include Breakfast, a morning
snack, Lunch, and an afternoon snack--all nutritionally balanced.
Our Teachers:
Every Boulevard Children’s Center teacher is highly qualified
and experienced. Boulevard has a staff of 10
teachers who are committed to working together to get your child
ready for the future.
All staff are CPR, First Aid, and Universal Precautions trained.
They also hold certification in mandatory reporting and take continuing
education courses.
Krista Stout, our Director, has been at The Boulevard for just
over 19 years. Not only does she possess exceptional direct hands-on
care, our Center flourishes under her leadership.

Classroom Size and Ratio:
We pride ourselves in having a low ratio count for
each classroom so we can provide better quality of care and
attention to the children. This enables a stronger one-on-one
connection between teacher and child.
Current Teacher: Child Ratio
Infants- 2:8 (1:4)
Two/Threes- 3:14 (1:5)
Three/Fours- 2:14 (1:7)
Four/Fives- 2:14 (1:7)
