Footprints Family Childcare

    Here at Footprints Family Childcare, our focus is on learning through  hands on activities.  We try to introduce the kids to different things every week.  However, we are also very open and flexible to make any changes at any time.  Our main focus is that the kids are having fun while learning.  We also do a lot of art activities.
