Although The POP Center does not have to be licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care since parents remain on site at all times, we adhere to the same set of safety standards as set forth for childcare centers. Whether you’re going to work onsite with your child or not, when it comes to choosing a childcare center for your little one, the decision is not one to be taken lightly. Your child's safety, well-being, and early development are at stake.
