Description: All of our classrooms use a curriculum and the PA Learning Standards. The curriculum at Schoolhouse Learning Center provides a wealth of activities to help children develop their minds and bodies in a safe and healthy environment. The PA learning Standards are research-based standards that are the key to supporting our curriculum. A strong academic foundation will enrich children with the skills necessary to succeed in every phase of their lives.
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.
