We believe that children learn best when they actively explore and engage with the world around them.
Our goal is to build on their natural inquisitiveness and to cultivate, in children, a lifelong passion for learning.
Early Care Learning Center
We are a high quality early care and learning center, serving children 3 months through age 5. We are open year-round, Mondays through Fridays from 7:45 a.m.–5:15 p.m., and offer both full-week and part-week schedules.
Individualized attention
We strive to provide each child with the individualized attention and support needed to enable them to grow and learn to their fullest potential. To achieve this, our program offers small group sizes and low staff-to-child ratios.
As a laboratory school, we provide a setting for Yavapai College early childhood education students to develop the skills and competencies necessary for careers with young children. We also serve as a resource and a model for the community.
In our daily programming and interactions with children, we
- Value the individuality and learning style of each child
- Provide children with challenges and opportunities for success
- Stimulate children’s thinking and problem-solving skills
- Encourage creative expression
- Build community and respect for others
- Encourage cooperation, generosity, and empathy
- Help children build confidence in themselves and develop healthy habits
- Provide activities that promote pre-literacy, math, and science skills
- Enrich the learning and strengthen the teaching skills of ECE students working in our program
