Enrollment

The philosophy at First Class Learning Center is that early childhood experiences should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring and discovery. Young children develop best through activities that capture their interest and imagination and challenge skill growth. The purpose of the school is to provide a well-designed learning environment filled with a rich variety of materials, where children can examine and manipulate, make discoveries, solve problems and think independently.

Our curriculum is planned within the framework of our philosophy and includes a wide variety of theme, skill and center-based activities that encourages the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of the child as a whole. First Class encourages children to learn and grown with the use of computers. All children are given individual, supervised time on the computer, which is an important tool as the child grows and learns.
