Welcome to the North Charleston Learning Center
The Learning Center offers a nurturing and joyful atmosphere where children experience a variety of learning and playful activities. These activities provide a balanced program for social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development. Each child is a unique person with special needs and abilities. Our goal is to encourage the growth of the "whole child." A daily schedule, which includes a balance of teacher-directed and child-directed activities, serves to reinforce, enrich, and challenge in an environment where each child is respected as an individual.
Curriculum
Our all-day childcare program includes an academic curriculum that provides a range of age-appropriate learning centers, group activities, individual instruction, and plenty of fun learning experiences that is based on in house learning. Children learn such things as shapes, colors, numbers, counting, sign language, letters, sounds, weather and seasonal changes, listening and following directions, pencil and scissor control.
Safety
Here at NCLC we make safety part of your daycare’s culture. We have strict pick up and drop off guidelines that limit who come in the building. For individuals without a door code, they must be on your child’s emergency list and show proof of identification. Doors are always locked. Access into the building is only granted to those who have door codes. We have video surveillance through our building that are always recording also in our parking lot to see who comes and goes.
We also ensure licensing standards are met, caregiver-to-child ratios are acceptable, staff is adequately trained, childproof all surrounding areas to protect children, staff is trained in first aid and CPR. We have a great online system through Smartcare that allows you to make payments weekly online and set them up automatically with a click of a button.
See how your child’s day went through our Kaymbu system! A platform that offers family engagement, family communication, photos, incident/accidents reports and Daily reports.
