| A School for the Mind and Body
936 Baldwin Road, Suite 101 - Lake Orion MI 48362 - (248) 814-7100
A School for the Mind and Body (SFMB) recognizes that children are the future of the world. Therefore, it has become our goal to provide the highest quality of preschool education that’s possible. With the combination of our character education concepts integrated in our teaching units of thinking, learning, nutrition and exercise, SFMB facilitates personal growth for the total child. At SFMB we do not say "come and attend" - but rather "come, experience, and learn."
SFMB believes parents everywhere are looking for an educational environment that will encourage the same life skills and values that are taught in the home. That is the primary purpose of SFMB - to make the educational experience an extension of a quality home. |

| Webcam Daycare
Pine Tree & Heights - Lake Orion MI 48362 - (248) 686-1551
We strongly believe in the importance of early childhood development, which is why all toys in the daycare have an educational purpose, making learning a fun and exciting adventure. We believe the most important element of the infant/toddler environment is an available and responsive caregiver. Any person who has cared for toddlers knows they are a challenging age group and must have undivided attention, as well as interaction in small groups. We believe that adults set the overall tone in terms of the socio-emotional quality of the environment while furniture, toys, and supplies determine the aesthetics of the physical environment. |
