Description: Our Mission Statement Believers Learning is dedicated to providing a loving, safe and educationally sound environment; where learning and fun go hand-in-hand. Our Vision We aim to prepare your child for their school years ahead. We believe that a child's first experience with early education and day care can hugely impact how they feel and accelerate in school for years to come. We support the nurturing and creativity each child craves in his or her quest for independence.
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.
