Augusta Health Childcare Center, Fishersville

The Childcare Center achieves quality childcare through dedication and a commitment to Augusta Health as a family first and then as a business. The childcare team on staff are well educated and trained. Our purpose is to provide a quality enrichment program for community children. In doing so we want to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment in which the developmental needs of each child, ages 6 weeks through school age, are considered and met. Augusta Health childcare builds on children's natural desire to learn new things and become more self-reliant. We practice getting along with other children, sharing, taking turns, and working in a group while playing games and learning new crafts. No matter how many hours children spend in childcare, family is the most important structure in their lives. At the Augusta Medical Childcare Center, good childcare is good family care. Staff members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help kids grow up healthy, happy, and strong. The Augusta Medical Childcare Center is inspected periodically by State Licensing, the Health Department, and the Fire Marshall to ensure all state guidelines are being met. We also conduct Criminal History checks and TB testing on all childcare staff in our facility. We have assembled a Crisis Management Manual which covers such events as: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, intruders, fire, gas leaks, bomb threats, winter weather, loss of electricity, or water, and hazardous spills. The Crisis Management Manual is available upon request. We are a childcare center licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and, therefore, subject to the minimum standards for licensed childcare centers and other state regulations.
