NURTURING TEACHERS
Experienced, caring childcare staff and licensed, certified teachers make your child their #1 priority. We strive to make our center a home-away-from-home, where your child feels confident, connected and secure to learn new things and discover his or her potential.
CREATIVE CURRICULUM
The Creative Curriculum serves as our foundation for learning and is integrated into all we do as we teach children at our center. It provides teachers with a full year of step-by-step guides, lesson plans, and resources for implementing a content rich program that is appropriate for children who may have a wide range of developmental levels and abilities. Parents, kids, and educators all agree it's a really good thing!
5 OUTDOOR PLAYGROUNDS
Each child gets to enjoy the fresh air, our outdoor gardens, the sandbox, outdoor play equipment and playgrounds (weather permitting) daily. We're strong believers in keeping kids learning through play and our students active and engaged with different gross motor activities that achieve developmentally appropriate milestones and keeps childhood obesity at bay. Children get to visit and have fun in our 5 age-appropriate playgrounds each day. There are outdoor gardens on each playground created by children and staff to further enhance the children’s love of the outdoors and nature.
WARM AND ENGAGING CLASSROOMS
The Learning Circle YMCA is a 25,000 square foot facility with 17 rooms for children to play, learn and thrive daily; these rooms are designed and furnished to provide an age appropriate setting and curriculum.
TRANSPORTATION TO ENRICHMENT AND FIELD TRIPS
Whether it is a trip to the museum, petting zoo, or the pool we transport your child in our yellow school buses to where they need to be. Best of all, it's included in your tuition.
SWIM AND GYM ENRICHMENT AT THE SUMMIT YMCA
Children ages pre-school and older take swim and water safety lessons at the Summit YMCA, our sister branch, located less than a mile away. Children also get to play in the full-size Hubbard gym each week.
FULL TIME NURSE ON STAFF
We have a very tenured, trained, full-time nurse on staff to ensure we help keep your child healthy and safe. Whether it is a scrape, tummy ache, or something more serious our nurse will take care of it and keep you informed.
FRESH FOOD PREPARED DAILY
On site is a full size, restaurant-style kitchen where fresh food and meals for 200+ children are prepared daily.
