About the Provider

Advertisement
Precious Hearts Learning Center will provide a “home away from home”, so that your child will feel as if he/she is a part of a large family setting. We will provide your child with the highest quality of care possible, while also making the atmosphere safe, secure, and trustworthy. We will enhance each child’s cognitive, creative, fine motor, gross motor, social, and emotional skills through learning, imagination, and exploration.

Each child will be treated as a special individual and will be taught to respect others. Your child will be taught how to play together as a group without regards to the differences in age. We will encourage your child not to be afraid, but rather to be curious and explore the different areas of life. He/she will be encouraged to strive toward his/her goals and dreams.

We want to be dependable to each parent and child and look forward to communicating with you and accomplishing the many goals you set for your child. MOST IMPORTANTLY, each child will receive the love and nurturing that he/she needs at such a young age.

Our goal at Precious Hearts Learning Center is to teach your children (child) the necessary skills in life. We want them to feel more independent, which builds self-esteem. In addition to their self-help skills, we want to prepare them for the next level of learning and develop their social skills. We want them to “Believe in Your Dreams” and enjoy being a child.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

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.
