We "R" Family began in 1989 as a family Child Care in the home of the Nears family. In 1995 it relocated to 1004 Utah St as a children's center and elementary school. The ultimate goal then and now, is to combine the closeness of family child care, with the business management and academic structure of most center-based programs.

The physical facility on Utah Street is unique in that it was formerly a residence, but has been converted for commercial use. It consists of two buildings on one lot. One houses the main office, a classroom & kitchen, and the other has two classrooms. The front yard is well maintained, and a large, secure, and nicely landscaped rear area is available for gross motor development. In 2012 our school age site opened and is continuing the advancement of children up to the 5th grade.
