Dennis Burton Child Care opened at the current
   location in early 1990. We are licensed by the Family
   Social Security Administration, Division of Family and
   Children, the State Board of Health, State Fire
   Marshall, and the State Children's Nutritionist. We
   are also accredited by the National Association for
   the Education of Young Children. (NAEYC)

   Dennis Burton provides child care for children age
   6 weeks to kindergarten. We now provide care from
   6 AM  to 6 PM, Monday through Friday.  Our
   extended hour program closed in November 2006
   based on the current needs in our community.  We
   would be happy to take your information if you are
   interested in these services in the future.
