Description: Here at Early Learning Academy we want your child to feel nurtured, gain knowledge, and make friends. We believe that a child's entire self should be developed to allow them to explore their inner talents. The children here are given the chance to develop lifelong traits; honesty, fairness, confidence, and responsibility. Children learn differently, and we utilize this through various teaching styles to reach auditory, kinesthetic, or visual learners. Our teachers are experienced and knowledgeable of early childhood growth and development. Our facilities are modern and new. We are incorporating technology in the classroom, providing the children the chance to explore music and other extracurricular activities. The children develop their gross and fine motor skills through various projects and play.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
