Description: The Learning Depot Preschool is a model center promoting student success through parent involvement, professional development and a collaborative environment committed to the well being of students. We excel at providing opportunities for all children to learn together. We are a welcoming and supportive resource for families. Our success is realized in the growth and development of children and their families. Our goal is to support our students in reaching their highest developmental, social and academic potential. We will create and maintain a developmentally appropriate environment for learning while empowering families to participate in and enhance their children’s education. By monitoring their progress, we will make data driven decisions that aid in each student’s achievements and provide comprehensive supports.
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.
