Description:
The Learning Express is a Child Development Center located in Denver, North Carolina. Our philosophy of education can be defined as providing the kind of stimulating and challenging environment that meets each individual child's needs for comprehensive development. Our center is a full time program serving infants (6 weeks) to Pre-Kindergarten (5 years).
We strive for each child is to create an environment that they feel is a second home; a place where play is cherished, love abounds, and comprehensive development is "fast-tracked".
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.
