Description: Our mission to our children and parents is to provide a unique childcare experience. The early childhood years reveal milestones on an almost daily basis and Academy for Little Learners will help to maximize these moments by presenting a well developed curriculum in accordance with Madison Metropolitan School District requirements for kindergarten admittance, providing extracurricular activities that nurture the whole child, and by hiring and retaining quality teachers/staff that have a commitment to the development of children.
Our philosophy on guidance is based upon Love and Logic. Aspects of this approach include giving the children choices in decision making to give them a feeling of ownership in the classroom and having natural consequences for the choices that they make.
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.
