Individualized placement • Whole-child developmentChildren are growing and adapting at rapid rates, so our staff remains flexible and assesses each child individually. Placement in a specific program is based on developmental observations—not only chronological age. Ages noted are guidelines; promotion to the next age group is at the discretion of Crossroads Daycare and not necessarily tied to a birthday.
