Description: The Early Learning Center at Gateway Community College is a fully licensed nationally accredited lab school for young children. The Center is based upon the concept that each child is an individual and should be able to develop at his or her own pace.
The Early Learning Center curriculum is concerned with providing hands-on sensory experiences to encourage children to think, analyze problems, and arrive at logical conclusions based on their own experience. The curriculum is centered around the interests, needs and abilities of the individual child.
The Early Learning Center provides a stimulating learning environment through three classroom models: Child Development, Modified Montessori, and Creative Curriculum.
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.
