Overview

Pleasant Pines Daycare operates from a home setting in a rural, park-like location outside Trivoli. The center accepts children from 2 months up to 5 years old and offers care on weekdays and on weekends.

Typical activities listed include calendar and weather discussions, games involving colors and shapes, puzzles and blocks to support fine motor development, art projects, music and movement, story time, sensory exploration and outdoor play when weather permits. The program maintains a low student–teacher ratio for more individualized attention.
