What Happens On Your Tour?
We Learn About You & Your Child
Before we show you a single room, we take a moment to get to know you, so that from day one, walking through our doors already feels familiar.
We Show You Your Child’s Learning Spaces
You’ll walk through the classrooms, the outdoor play areas, and the spaces designed to make every day an adventure.
We Answer Your Questions
Whatever’s on your mind, feel free to ask as we explore, so you can feel assured about whether it’s the right fit.
You’ll Have Our Number — And We Mean That
Unlike the big franchise schools, we’re family-owned, and we’re parents, too, so we know the value of open communication. You’re always in direct contact with your child’s teacher and director, so you always feel supported and understood.
Play Is How Children Learn To Think
The play-based Creative Curriculum builds your child’s focus, curiosity, and problem-solving skills for kindergarten and beyond through joyful, meaningful discovery every day.
Healthy Breakfast, Lunch, And Snacks Are All Included
No lunchboxes to pack, no allergy stress, no scrambling on busy mornings. Nutritious meals are prepared on-site and included in your tuition — one less thing on your plate.
We’re Open Every Day — For Working Parents
From 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, every day, we’re here. Because working parents need reliable, consistent care from a team they trust. Drop off early, pick up late — we’ve got this covered.
A Close-Knit Community With A Small School Feel
Because we’ve grown through the personal recommendations of our wonderful families since 2012, Crouthers is a warm, welcoming, locally trusted community where everyone feels seen and heard.
Hear What Parents Have To Say...
“Collectively between our two daughters we have been with Crouthers for 7 years. I would not trust any other daycare the way we trust Crouthers. They have looked after our girls as if they were their own. They are amazing with communication.”
- Mollie Appelbaum
“We have been part of the Crouthers family for over 5 years now and could not be happier with how they have cared for our children! Taylor and Shannon do an amazing job in communicating and supporting the teachers. We never doubt that our girls are in great hands every day.”
- Brittany Wilcutt
“From the very beginning, they have cared for my son like he’s one of their own. As a full-time working mom, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and thriving.”
- Abby Willie
“We’ve had 3 children in school here and have experienced all the rooms from the infant room up to pre-k. All the teachers at the school, even the ones for other rooms, know every kid.”
- Hannah Harper
“I cried dropping my kids off the first day … and cried when we left to move.”
- Alyssa Reis Markham
