General Info:
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of The Ducere Learning Center is to provide a nurturing child care environment for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. The Ducere Learning Center supports families by partnering with parents in the care and education of their young children. Warm and caring professional staff maintain a positive atmosphere where children are cared for and respected. The Center offers learning experiences which promote social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
Children are "Learning Today for a Better Tomorrow."
This belief is carried out by giving all children opportunities to learn, based on
their unique learning styles and natural-given talents. The child care space is designed to allow children to express themselves through art, math, reading, science, and other learning experiences.
The environment at The Ducere Learning Center emphasizes that each child is different. We treat children in ways that meet their individual needs. The daily schedule offers a variety of opportunities for children to learn according to their interests and abilities. Our staff are there to provide guidance and emotional support and to assist the children in making the most of their learning experiences.
The Ducere Learning Center recognizes that parents are first in their child’s life and that all parents want the best for their child. Opportunities are provided for parents to be involved in the center according to their time and interests. Some parent involvement options include helping with field trips or being on the Advisory Board. The Ducere Learning Center understands that parents have busy and hectic lives. Our goal is to provide the best possible support to parents through our partnership in the child’s care.
Parent Involvement
We encourage parents to be involved in their child’s early education; therefore, each center creates a Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) which allows parents to participate in center planning and events to benefit the overall quality of the program. Some of the group’s initiatives include: fundraising, special events, teacher recognition and development, community service projects, center enhancements and networking with other families.
