OUR MISSION
Belong. Begin. Become.
At Heritage Place our mission is to create and provide working families with a safe, nurturing environment in which they feel their children are being given a quality education in their toddler and preschool years. We want children to feel like they belong at Heritage place so their early years of life will begin with a love for learning and they will know that they have the power to become anything they want to be. Our children are a heritage from the Lord and deserve the best.
That’s what we hope to be for them and their
parents.
