Truks-N-Trykes is a child’s home away from home. Nutritious meals, silly activities, educational 
 curriculum, and growing friendships help set the foundation for each child’s development. Our focus is to encourage growth in a loving environment for everyone. No two children are the same, so we strive to meet each child where they’re at and let them each thrive in their own unique way!
