Lake Carolina Early Learning Center
Quality Childcare Led By Professionals Who Care!
Lake Carolina Early Learning Center is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children ages 6 weeks to 5 years by providing experiences that enrich and enhance each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical and creative development. Within the Center’s daily schedule, each child has opportunities to be creative, explore the environment, learn problem solving and personal interaction skills and to learn concepts through first-hand experiences. Children develop a positive self-concept through a balance of self and teacher-directed activities.
Opportunities for solitary play as well as group activities are provided. Our staff members serve as positive role models and provide care that is supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child’s individual needs. We respect parents as the primary and most important provider of care and nurturing, and we believe parents and teachers are partners in children’s care and education.
