Proudly Serving Children 6 Weeks to 6 Years old
We endeavor to promote growth through safe, developmentally appropriate activities in a secure and caring environment. We provide a stimulating experience to promote each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. We also strive to foster a love of learning, an appreciation for beauty, and an abiding respect for the world around us. We place the highest value on each child’s need for respect, self-discipline, and individuality.
We recognize play as a child’s natural way of learning. Play is the child’s process of exploring, identifying, negotiating, taking risks, and creating meaning. Play must be a fundamental component of early childhood care and education. We use a child’s discovered interests observed through play to develop age-appropriate classroom curricula. A child’s eventual transition to kindergarten and later schooling is best served through child-centered, play-based learning combined with a degree of age-appropriate, organized, didactic, structured learning.
This franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee. All inquiries about employment at this franchisee should be made directly to the franchise location, and not to Association for Early Learning Leaders.
