Description: Mile Square Early Learning Center established in 1979, has offered neighborhood children and their parents daily, dependable and safe early childhood educational experiences. Through the years the notion of child care has changed to reflect developmentally appropriate practices.
A new level of service is now emerging with parents and educators expecting child care centers to provide educational tools and concepts formerly taught in kindergarten or even first grade. It is no longer acceptable for children to just “play.”
Our parents, like most parents want the best for their children; but, what approach is really the best? We have found, and educational research has reinforced the idea, that an individual developmental approach to learning best suits the needs of very young children. We take into consideration that play is the vehicle used by our children to learn complex concepts and skills.
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.
