Early Learning Center Programs

Teachers provide a loving, nurturing, and safe environment for toddlers to learn and grow at their own pace. Your child’s teacher is the primary caregiver who focuses on your child’s needs and developmental achievements. Communication with the parents is ongoing, as well as during scheduled conference times throughout the year.

A warm and caring environment that promotes each child’s development. We incorporate learning through creative play, arts
and crafts, singing and movement, dramatic play, and fine motor activities. Lessons plans are based on the PA Early Learning Standards and Teaching Strategies Gold.

Offers a nurturing environment where children can play, work and learn. The children are provided opportunities to explore and cooperate with their classmates, while enjoying a diverse assortment of developmentally appropriate activities. Our classroom offers academic pre-readiness skills and learning experiences in a variety of areas.

Serves as a bridge between your child’s home and their first year in Kindergarten. The teacher focuses on appreciating each child‘s social, emotional, and cognitive stage of development. Integrated experiences in literacy and numeracy are intentionally planned to ensure children reach their full potential in academic and interpersonal areas.
