About the Provider

Advertisement
At the Balancing Act Enrichment Center, we see our classrooms as classroom families. We foster in the children a sense of movement, where play and interaction are the most essential tools of learning. These relationships influence how children feel about themselves as they encounter new tasks and develop a life-long approach to learning. We strive to nurture each child by providing a balanced educational, reactive, and athletic environment based on love, trust, respect, learning, and laughter.
