Age-Appropriate Learning for Every Stage
At Just-Us-Kids, we nurture children through every stage, from infants to preschoolers, with programs tailored to their unique developmental needs. Our experienced educators create safe and stimulating environments where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
No matter their age, your child will thrive in a supportive environment designed to help them reach their full potential.


Build Essential Skills Through the Power of Play
At Just-Us-Kids, we believe play is essential for development. Through hands-on activities and exploration, children learn how to learn, developing crucial skills like problem-solving and creativity. This fosters a love of discovery, encouraging them to become innovators and inventors, not just passive consumers of information. We’re nurturing the next generation of thinkers and leaders!
Hear What Parents Have To Say...
The staff is friendly, patient and attentive. Sheila the director is present, available and clearly loves and is loved by the children. The facilities are clean and provide ample stimulation and activities for the children.
My son just started at the center and I was impressed with how the environment has a warm and friendly atmosphere. I met with the director and she discussed the structure of the center which was conducive to what I was looking for in a program. The director was communicative and very comforting as my son started a new program.
I love this place. The teachers are very nice, and the director. They took my child in, when he was 3years old, and now he is 7 years old. They teach my child the different between right and wrong. They’re doing great things with kids during summer(field trip, BBQ, pool etc….),I really appreciate it what you are doing
