Why families choose us

Clarity first. Then the giggles.

An independent south Fargo center — small enough to feel personal, clear enough that you know what the day looks like.

Kindergarten ready

Preschool days mix play with conversation, early literacy, and numbers — so the next classroom feels familiar, not scary.

Safe & secure

Authorized check-in and pick-up, staff background checks, CPR and first-aid training, and everyday sanitization. We’ll walk you through the details on your tour.

A loving environment

Children are known by name, not by a cubby number. Warm relationships and positive guidance come before a packed activity calendar.

Parents stay in the loop

Daily notes and a quick conversation at the door — how they ate, slept, and what made them laugh. Ask us what updates look like for your child’s classroom.

About us

A neighborhood center — not a franchise script.

A lively, welcoming space where kids learn through giggles, creativity and everyday adventures! We blend warm relationships, hands-on play, and positive guidance to help children grow with confidence.

Our story

Scribbles & Giggles is an independent child care center on 28th Street SW. Days are built around play, conversation, and the small moments that help a child feel known — then ready for the next thing. The logo is ours. The hallway is ours. You will not get a laminated corporate welcome.

Teachers & experience

Classroom teams are experienced early childhood caregivers who use positive guidance and consistent routines. Ask about current teachers, training, and classroom ratios when you tour.

Safety

Quiet systems so you can walk back to the car.

Licensed child care center in North Dakota. We talk about safety in calm, practical terms — how the door works, who may pick up, and how we handle a fever — not scare copy. Ask every question on your tour.

  • Secure drop-off & pick-up

    Children leave with authorized adults only. We’ll learn your regular faces and ask for ID until we do.

  • People we trust with your child

    Hiring includes background checks. Classroom teams keep CPR and first-aid training current — standard practice for a licensed North Dakota center.

  • Clean, calm rooms

    Daily sanitization of toys, tables, and high-touch surfaces, plus health checks that keep the day comfortable for everyone.

  • Supervision that fits the age

    Infants through school-age are watched with age-appropriate attention — not a one-size-fits-all playground rule.

We’ll show you the door, the cubbies, and the rhythm

Safety is easier to feel in the hallway than to read on a page.

Families

What parents notice in the first week

A few words from families — the kind of thing you’ll hear in the hallway after drop-off.

Drop-off stopped feeling like a negotiation. They already knew her songs and what helps her settle.

Maya R.

Parent · preschool

Homework happens, then he still has time to make something. The first calm after-school stretch we’ve had.

Daniel K.

Parent · school-age

Warm without being chaotic. The teachers talk to us like partners, not like a clipboard.

Priya S.

Parent · toddler

Calling with a last-minute question never feels like an imposition. That made this the easy yes.

Jordan M.

Parent · infant

Hear it from the hallway, not just the homepage

A tour is the fastest way to know if the room feels right.
