An Early Childhood Development center you can trust

We know that the time children are at ScuttleBugs can never be repeated and that successful navigation of these early years builds not just knowledge but a well-rounded child with the capacity and aptitude to absorb and learn throughout their lives. We respect this precious time with each child and their family by our complete commitment to their individual safety, well-being and learning journey.

The Infant Program consists of two classrooms and offers placement for children 6 weeks to 18 months of age. The Toddler Program consists of two classrooms and offers placement for children 12 to 36 months of age. The Preschool Program consists of a large divided classroom (referred to as Rooms 5 and 6) Licensed for children 2.5 to 6 years of age. Room 5 supports the younger children, and Room 6 provides Kindergarten readiness for the older grouping of children.

Safety is our #1 priority

• Electronic sign-in/out screens in the lobby (integrated into both security and attendance software)
• Security cameras in strategic locations
• Expansive playground areas for all age groups. Soft-fal or synthetic turf to be installed shortly.
• Protection from the sun at an early age pays great dividends in later life. Permanent shade materials installed over large areas of the playground providing much needed sun protection to be installed shortly. (And of course we lather our little ones in sunscreen before they go outside.) Read more about sun protection on our blog.
• Emergency evacuation drills monthly
• Mandatory infant/child/adult first aid/CPR/AED certification

All included

• Diapers, pull-ups, wipes, sunscreen and nap time linens: we are a full-service quality program and provide all the daily essentials: a cost-effective measure for parents’ greater convenience by not having to find, buy and supply.
• Fresh meals cooked daily on-site included. We provide our nutritious and well-balanced meals program (breakfast, morning “tea”, lunch, afternoon “tea” and evening snack) for all the children. For our little love bugs not yet on table food, purees will be prepared and served. Parents may elect for the daily vegetarian option too.
• Daily communication with parents via an app
• Parent-teacher conferences twice per year
• 529 College Saving Scheme: (we contribute to your child’s future college fund).
• Unique structured curriculum, which incorporates a holistic approach to Education, based on seven core curriculum domains integrating the best Reggio Emilia and Emergent Curriculum
• Extracurricular activities available

For every child we will cement the foundation of their growth as they prepare for their onward steps. We encourage curiosity, and engagement, especially in the areas of languages, cultures, music, our natural world and overall health.

We support our teachers, whose work is so much more than just a job. (And yes, naturally, our teachers do build emotional bonds with not just our children, but also our parents.)

We are recognized throughout the San Francisco Bay Area (CA) as a premier provider of early childhood development and for child care programs which balance both education and social and emotional needs. We are honored to open our first ScuttleBugs’ campus in Boulder (CO).
