Family's First Learning Center

Our Teachers

My name is Taneka Thomas and I have 16 years of experience working in the early childhood field and over 10 years of experience supporting youth and families. I have developed and implemented different support programs for single parents and parents in general to benefit the lives of their families and their children. Through this, I have seen the need for quality care for young children and I am so excited to be opening this center to support the community.

Philosophy

Children learn better in a safe, nurturing environment where they are able to learn and have fun engaging in developmental play-based, child-centered learning experiences. While in the care of our center, staff members will strive to:  Provide a safe, healthy, nurturing, and challenging learning environment.  Encourage discovery-learning and exploration of the world around us.  Promote a positive sense of self-worth.  Promote a sense of mastery, trust, and autonomy.  Advance children’s physical, intellectual, and academic competence.  Support children’s social and emotional development.  Establish positive and productive relationships with families.

Location

Our center is located in the Albion area and will be conveniently located about 5 minutes away from the 121 exit.

About our program

Serving children aged six weeks to 12 years, this center will operate year-round on a schedule of Monday through Friday, 6am to 6pm. There will be an infant classroom, toddler classroom, a two year old classroom, two preschooler classrooms; and a large gymnasium that the children will have access to. The center will operate all year round with part-time and full-time options. We’d love to learn more about your family and welcome you to our community!
