A Word From Some of Our Teachers

There is always something exciting and challenging happening when you look at the world through a child’s eyes and every day is full of new experiences. During my career at The Learning Center, I really felt like I had a chance to change the world, at least a small part of it. — Ms. Peggy

The Learning Center upholds a very high standard of quality in their schools. The executive team serves as mentors to help every staff member to grow and develop their teaching skills. I am thankful I have the honor and pleasure of working at The Learning Center — Ms. Sisa

I love how The Learning Center appreciates me. Unlike any other job I have had, they notice how hard I work to be my best. They have helped me identify areas to improve and help me to better myself as an employee and teacher. — Ms. Brandi

As a first-time teacher at The Learning Center, I felt a great welcome from my co-workers and the children alike. Walking through the doors each day makes me love what I do. The Learning Center offers friendly faces and a chance to make a real difference. — Ms Misty

WE WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU!

Our Theme in APRIL

Animals, especially zoo animals, never fail to capture the interest of children.  We will be utilizing that interest to motivate the children to master some of the basic preschool concepts of numbers, shapes, and colors.  Hopefully, they will also become more aware of their environment by discussing animals that are nearly extinct and the conditions that cause this.  We will also be polishing our reasoning and categorizing skills as we decide which animals will be able to join the “MAMMAL CLUB”. To be considered for membership the animals must: 1) have hair 2) have at least four appendages 3) breathe air 4) have their babies born alive, and 5) be able to feed babies milk from the mother’s body.  The homework assignment for you and your child this month is to cut out pictures of animals and bring them in.  If you can help them to look up information about the animals which will allow them to make the decision… mammal or non-mammal… you will be providing a great motivator for your child.

Skill Goal Focus in APRIL

Beginners will have fun learning to reproduce the sounds of zoo animals and sorting animal cards that are alike and different.  Common objects will be named and identified by function.  They will practice with pop beads, string beads and work with snaps to make independent dressing easier.

Preschool children will practice grouping objects by appearance, relationships, and specific criteria. Numbers will be emphasized as they work on recognizing coins and their values.  They will sharpen balance and coordination skills as they move like animals.
