The Learning Center is an outreach of First Plymouth, providing a Parent's Day Out program for one and two year olds, and a Preschool program for three, four, and five year olds. The Learning Center's programs are child-centered and based on the belief that play is the best way for children to learn. Their approach is individualized to meet each child's needs and interests. Each classroom is organized with age-appropriate centers for creative art, literature, science, pre-math, dramatic play, and cognitive and small motor development. These centers encourage reenactment of life's roles. The environment is planned to stimulate imagination and creativity, socialization, exploration, and discovery, while challenging the use of muscles important to developing bodies. Our professional staff is qualified to guide your child's growth in a consistent and nurturing manner. The primary goal of the program is to create a positive attitude toward learning and instill feelings of confidence and self-esteem.
