"By having smaller groups there is an opportunity for more one-on-one time with the caregiver. As a result, the quality of care increases causing fewer problems in terms of avoidable accidents. A more relaxed child is a child who can learn and a more relaxed child is a happier child."
- Carmen Hernandez, TSC Child Care Preschool II Teacher
"I love my teachers."
- Kaitlin Plecinoga, TSC Child Care Preschooler
