Description: At Partners in Learning, Inc., we believe children are best taught in a caring atmosphere rich with hands on activities that make learning fun. A child learns and grows through experience, and we have created a setting which builds confidence, with lessons that are embedded with interesting and stimulating goals. We are dedicated to providing young children with a successful first school experience. Our nurturing, qualified staff provides each child with an enriching environment filled with developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. Our curriculum uniquely challenges a child to problem solve through individual and small group activities. Our objective is for every child to gain the needed social skills and pre-academic development necessary to cultivate a lifetime of joy in learning!
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.
