WHO WE ARE
About TLC Daycare
The Learning Curve is a daycare with child-centered classrooms, designed to respond to the children’s needs, where they are likely to flourish.
A child-centered classroom differs from a teacher-directed classroom in that the materials, questions, and activities introduced by the teacher are open-ended and allow for student exploration and engagement.

"The Learning Curve, not only prepared my little guy for kindergarten, but he exceeded the expectations of his Kindergarten teacher. I thank Mrs. Lindsay and her staff for their quality facility and expertise".

Do you welcome parent involvement? Can I stop by unannounced?
#
The answer to both is a resounding, “YES!” Our school is a community that embraces the whole family. If you’d like to get an inside look at your child at play or in the classroom, you are more than welcome to stop by anytime. We also encourage parents to come in and talk about their careers, help with projects at home that need to be completed and returned, lending objects of units of study and anything else that will help get parents involved.
What types of activities do you offer for infants and toddlers?
#
We provide age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, to stimulate the minds of infants and toddlers, and to promote motor and social skill development. We use paints, glitter, play dough, glue, chalk, books, sensory tables with beans, rice, water, snow, dirt, noodles and more. Our infants and toddlers say very busy throughout the day.
What will my child be learning in your preschool?
#
We introduce the fundamentals of Arithmetic, Art, Reading, Writing, Music, and Science, Math, Cooking and other fun activities that are all theme based.
How often do you clean the rooms and toys?
#
All of our rooms have cleaning schedules for different areas of the classroom throughout the day. It a teacher sees a child cough, sneeze or put a toy in their mouth the toy goes directly into the sink in the classroom to be cleaned and sanitized. The infant room is cleaned twice a day, and the changing tables and bathrooms are disinfected after each diaper change.
What is your policy regarding sick children?
#
In order to keep our children, their families and our staff as healthy as possible, we require that any child with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or contagious disease be kept at home. (click here for more info)
How do you communicate with parents?
#
The parents of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers receive a daily journal entry that documents feedings, naps, diaper/potty times, and other important notes. Parents of our preschoolers will either receive a text or an email update with daily information. We use HiMAMA as a platform to communicate with families.
What if someone other than my spouse/partner or me has to pick up my child?
#
In order to protect your child, we require that you provide the names of any individual who has permission to pick up your child. We require advance notice from you when someone other than a family member will be picking up your child and will check identification. If we have any questions or concerns, we ask that you are available via cell phone to provide confirmation.
What security measures are in place to protect my child?
#
Your child’s safety and your peace of mind are of the utmost concern at The Learning Curve Daycare Care Center. Our facility is fenced in around the entire playground. All visitors must register gain access into our facility.
