Fishburn Flock Philosophy...
- We believe that each child is a very special gift from God. A gift that needs to be cared for, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.
- We believe that such care must be provided in a safe and pleasant environment by people who are loving and kind.
- We believe that when child care outside the home is necessary, it should be a positive experience for the parents as well as the child. Parents should feel confident that their children are receiving the very best care possible.
- We believe that constant and open communication among caregivers, parents and children is vital to the well being of the children.
