Description: Welcome to the ALC Albemarle Learning Center located near the YMCA in Elizabeth City, NC. The center serves children 2 1/2 to 5 years of age. The Center provides developmentally appropriate learning experiences that prepare young children for school. School readiness means that children are socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively prepared for continued success in Kindergarten.
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.

My kid went to school here and there was a child abuse and suspected child molestation going on, my kid said she was touched. Don't bring your kids here. This was her first preschool, and it was a single parents worst nightmare of a preschool.
I gave this facility a four deserving of a 5 but nothing's perfect I have toured the facilities wonderful Learning Center the children were interacting and appear to be having a great time learning I saw a lot of Hands-On activities going on and play time which no Learning Center with that age group should be without because one way small children learn is through play I am a retired individual and if I where to select any particular day care in Elizabeth City North Carolina ALC Albemarle Learning Center would be on my list
