About the Provider
Our Director is Charlotte Goller and our Assistant Director is Claudine Markiewicz. Their combined talents and leadership help shape the Learning Center into a professionally run facility. The Center is also blessed with a remarkable staff.
The programs we offer include Toddler, full day or part day. Age’s 3-4 full day or part day. School Age, school year full day programs and summer full day or part day programs. We consider a full day is over five hours; part day is five hours or less.
In addition Pastor Carol and Pastor Scott offer a special chapel time to the children.
It is also important to us to keep them in a clean and safe environment. The Center has its own part-time janitor who specifically takes care of the cleaning of the Center. All staff, including the janitor, keeps the areas used neat and orderly. Regular “house cleanings” are conducted during breaks to ensure cleanliness. Extra precautions with cleaning and sanitation are taken at the center to avoid problems during the flu season. The center is inspected at least annually to ensure that we meet county guidelines.
The center strives to provide parents with the confidence that their children are in good care and we provide them with a positive experience in which they can grow and learn.
