Mission Statement
MESAC Child Development Center mission is to provide high quality, developmentally appropriate child-care by stimulating social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. We believe that ALL children are cultural ethnic diverse and unique individuals. We provide children an organized, child-directed learning environment that emphasizes mutual respect, fun, discovery, literacy, and addresses sensory needs. Our center environment and qualified staff supports the conditions for all children to construct knowledge, focusing on the learning process rather than the end product.
