Our daycare centers feature: Infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children will all find something to love at Sparkles!, where we nurture children’s natural desire to learn, communicate, and follow their unique interests through age-appropriate activities that encourage exploration and a love of learning.

Security

At Sparkles!, security is the number one priority. We utilize BrightWheel, a child-care management software, to communicate with parents, record daily activities, and track arrivals and departures.  Procare keeps financial information and allows for online payments.

Through our security system with a keypad by the front door, we ensure that only authorized personnel is admitted into our facility.

Sparkles! offers an Internet Camera Viewing System. Registered parents are able to stay connected with their children throughout the day via the Internet.

The images are sent to the providers’ secure internet server where they are encrypted. Access to the site can only be made with an approved user name and password. Parents are given authorized access to their child’s room.
