Why Choose Us?
What makes FPS different…
We know you have options when it comes to choosing a center, and we’re so glad you’re considering us. At FPS, we work hard to make your experience feel personal, supportive, and truly different from the rest. From the way we greet your family each morning to the thoughtful curriculum and loving care your child receives every day, we pour intention into every detail. Here are just a few of the reasons families choose us—and why we hope you will too.
Hands-On Leadership: Our Director, Shamara Beltran, is highly involved, engaging and training inside our classrooms daily. She maintains strong connections with both children and parents—ensuring a personal touch in our care. Our Assistant Director, Priscilla Rodriguez, is diligently updating schedules to meet the needs of both our staff and our children, ensuring proper classroom coverage. She also manages the communications and document hub in the office, keeping everything running smoothly. The owners, Cassie Saquing and Lauren Torres, are on site weekly, actively ensuring team accountability and the integration of best practices for the company.
Dedicated and Caring Staff: As a woman-founded, independently owned small business rooted in a love for lifelong learning, we’re proud to have a diverse team of dedicated full-time and part-time professionals—representing a wide range of backgrounds, genders, and experiences. Each staff member brings their best to the classroom, ensuring that your child receives exceptional care and education every day. Our culturally diverse staff is supported by full-time floaters and dedicated schedules across both floors, maintaining smooth operations and fostering a positive and happy environment for our teachers and students alike.
Small Class Registration Size & Clear Ratios: We maintain small class sizes and state mandated teacher-to-student ratios, giving your child the attention they deserve. (Infants/Toddlers - 12 children per room cap and Transitional 2’s and Preschool age - 15 children per room cap).
Holistic, Child-Centered Curriculum: Our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We build each child’s learning experience around strong reading foundations, then thoughtfully layer in handwriting, exploratory themes, and sensory-friendly environments to support every type of learner.
Complimentary Social-Emotional Screenings: We partner with trusted professionals to provide free social-emotional screenings for all active FPS students. These screenings help us support your child’s development, school readiness, and long-term success—while also giving families insight and tools to strengthen dynamics at home.
Year-Round Classroom Placement for Stability: Our classroom placement is designed for the entire school year (Sept-June), ensuring your child benefits from consistent peer group socialization. We prioritize stability over convenience, maintaining the best environment for your child’s long-term social and emotional growth.
Inclusive Environment: Our daycare center (1st floor) and preschool (2nd floor) is a multicultural community where diversity is celebrated. This diversity among our staff allows us to cater to the unique needs of every child, providing personalized care and education that reflects a broad spectrum of experiences and traditions. We believe that exposure to different cultures, family types, and differently abled perspectives enriches your child’s learning experience, fostering empathy and understanding from a young age.
Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity: We integrate cultural awareness into our curriculum, teaching children about the various cultures and traditions of their classroom peers. This not only prepares them to thrive in a global society but also helps them develop respect and appreciation for differences.
Spacious Facilities with Premium Amenities: We offer the largest square footage center in the area featuring: nine large classrooms, seven multi-stall bathrooms, two fenced and gated playgrounds, a spacious parking lot, a park-like side yard, and expansive group meeting spaces—providing ample room for exploration and learning.
Innovative Communication and Monitoring Tools: We’re consistently enhancing our communication methods, utilizing tools like the Procare app and classroom cameras, so you’re always connected to your child and their daily routine.
Extended Hours with No Extra Beforecare or Aftercare Fees: Our daycare is open all year with long operating hours, and we offer before and after care at no additional cost, giving you peace of mind and flexibility.
No Long-Term Contracts: We’re so confident in our value that we don’t require long-term commitments from you.
Onsite Enrichment Programs: Optional Enrichment programs are conveniently available onsite during operating hours, providing additional learning opportunities without disrupting your schedule.
Fun Friday Pizza Day: Every Friday is pizza day (included in tuition and purchased from a local small business), adding a fun and delicious end to the week that your child will look forward to!
