The curriculum fosters social, creative, physical and cognitive skills and aids children in their development. The school uses the local area as an extension of the classroom and students engage in real world experiences, from nature walks to tours of local businesses. Children’s Learning Place offers discounts for teachers and families with multiple students. Please call to schedule a tour or visit www.childrenslearningplace.com to learn more.
