Review Policy: ChildcareCenter.us does not actively screen or monitor user reviews, nor do we verify or edit content. Reviews reflect only the opinion of the writer.

About the Provider

Natural Learners is a pre-qualified provider with the Agency of Education and we offer high-quality publicly funded pre-K education for 3-5-year-olds. Universal Pre-K (known as Act166) funds 10 hours of Pre-K per week during the school year. This funding will reduce the cost of your tuition for the 10 hours of Pre-K if you are not attending the local school district programming. Children must be in attendance for the 10 hours of Universal Preschool to qualify for these funds. The days and times that are set are determined at the start of the school year once enrollment schedules have been navigated and it is clear the days that all of the children are in attendance for these services. Our commitment to play and the natural environment is weaved into our curriculum that is developed by a licensed educator. If students are accessing universal pre-k through the school district and are attending their local public school Natural Learners offers preschool care after the public programming. We provide a rich learning environment with curricula that are developmentally appropriate to the specific ages in each classroom. We have a flexible daily routine that allows children to advance at their own pace. We strongly believe that learning happens through play. Learning and exploring are hands-on and are facilitated through interest areas. Our program is designed to enhance children's development in the following areas: creativity, self-expression, decision-making, problem-solving, responsibility, independence, and reasoning. We encourage openness to that which is different from us, and the ability to work and play with others.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
