Families appreciate that Doodle Bugs! is more than just day care – we provide high quality child care, preschool and school age programs that are second to none.

Why Choose Doodle Bugs?

Doodle Bugs! is synonymous with high quality – a love for lifelong learning really does begin here! Our priorities, spelled out in the acronym S.C.O.P.E. (Safe, Clean, Organized, Professional, Educational), have remained consistent since 1992. As a result, the doodle community has grown to include 2,000+ families!

We're especially proud of the following doodle differences:

• Innovative BRAVO!® Curriculum - Professionally developed and exclusively at Doodle Bugs!, BRAVO! Early Childhood Curriculum® combines theme-related age-appropriate classroom experiences, amazing enrichment programs and our series of center events. Detailed, daily lesson plans and curriculum resources are provided!
