PROGRAMS THAT WE OFFER
First Place Learning LLC will be integrating these programs into our curriculum to challenge children’s learning in a positive way and to increase retention of information taught.
Sign Language
Sign Language promotes communication and language development for all children, but mostly in those too young to verbalize their wants and needs. Signs will be used daily to increase repetition and teach children to use their words to communicate.
STEM
STEM (Science, technology, engineering and Math) sets the foundation for future learning. A report showed that STEM subjects are just as important as acquiring literacy skills at a young age.
Music and Movement
Children love engaging in music and movement at a very early age. It helps them to express and regulate their emotions in a positive way.
Days/Hours of Operation:
Child care is available Monday through Friday 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM with the exception of closings as referred to in the parent handbook.
You will determine an approximate drop-off and pick up time within those hours based on your families’ individual needs. These times must be followed and stated in the signed contract upon starting care. If they need to change for any reason, I must be notified of the change and a new contract will be signed. If it is temporary ie: for an appointment or any other reason, then it will need to be verbally communicated 24 hours ahead of time.
If you will be late to pick up your child, please call.
