Quality Teaching by Compassionate Caregivers
Mission Statement
The Learning Center is a non-profit ministry of Forest Hills Presbyterian Church. We participate in Quality Counts. Our basic purpose is to provide Christ-centered care, education, and guidance for all children and families in our community. Love, learning, and laughter go together in a childcare program.
Certified Teachers on Staff
Each and everyone of our teaching staff is fully trained and DCF certified, many have attained Associates and Bachelor’s degrees in Education and other. The teachers have attended intensive training in implementing the Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment. The teachers have received the highest ranking of 5 out of 5 for the last ten consecutive years in the Quality Counts Program. They complete 20 In-Service training hours yearly to keep their teaching practices up to date. The VPK Classrooms are and have been for 2+ years actively working on different research projects with the University of South Florida. Our entire teaching staff is currently involved in the Early Learning Performance Funding Project. This project involves professional development opportunities that aim to improve or maintain the quality of childcare.
Quality Equipment
Our play structures and playground equipment are wonderful additions to our oak tree shaded outdoor spaces and a fun way for kids to build up their skills and coordination. The size, height and complexity of structures are designed for three specific age groups.
Daycare & Preschool
There is increasing evidence that children benefit from preschool. At preschool children are exposed to numbers letters shapes and most important how to socialize. Getting along with other children is important to their development.
