Leigh Smith is the owner, Katie Preddy is the office manager, feel free to stop by or call Leigh or Katie for more information on our center.  Our preschool program is well-known among the teachers in the area.  We serve many of their families because they understand the quality of education and care the children receive with us.

Our rates are kept as low as possible in order to serve our families the best we can.  We also accept county and state vouchers along with college child care funding sources.  We feel every child deserves the opportunity for a quality start in life, regardless of income.

We are a small, independant school serving about 40 children.  Birth to kindergarten.  Our reputation in the community speaks for itself, with many families returning when younger children arrive.  We have children with us whose parent stayed with us as a child!  We have staff that attended Shining Time as a child!  Come see the difference that a small, dedicated school can make in your child's education.
