They are very active and have large areas in which they play football, climb, and chase each other.

Staff gather good information from parents about their children. For example, they find out about children's likes and dislikes, family members and any medical needs. Parents comment that their children thoroughly enjoy the different activities that the club offers and often ask to return even on days they are not supposed to be at the club.
