Garden of Learning Child Development Center
About
The Garden of Learning Child Development Center provides the Harrisburg, PA area with high quality child care and early learning services. Our educational program is carefully created and implements Pennsylvania's Early Learning Standards to ensure that each child is meeting developmental and educational goals. Family owned and operated, Garden of Learning Child Development Center's purpose is to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children to grow and blossom.
Garden of Learning Child Development Center is a Keystone Stars Participating Center.
We believe that all children deserve high quality care and early education and we have strongly commited ourselves to providing these services to the children and families in our Community.
It is for this reason that we began participating in the Keystone Stars program. At our center, you will find many higher quality standards such as:
-
Experienced and Educated Teachers-All of our teachers routinely attend trainings and Professional Development events in Early Childhood Education to ensure that their knowledge is fresh and current.
-
Developmental Screenings are used for all children enrolled within the first 45 days of enrollment.
-
We use Pennsylvania's Early Learning Standards as a resource when planning each week's lessons from Infants through School Age children.
-
We regularly perform Environmental Rating Scales in each of our classrooms in order to evaluate quality improvements.
-
We encourage partnerships with our families by providing daily information about each child's day, offering parent/teacher conferences, providing information about available Community Resources, Health and Safety information, and many other topics.
Nutrition
Child And Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
Garden of Learning CDC participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. This means that meals are provided for your child while in our care. We provide breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack for each child that meets CACFP guidelines to ensure nutritionally sound meals.
Menus are posted monthly
For the health and safety of all the children in our care, Garden of Learning CDC has adopted a "No Peanut" policy. No peanuts or peanut products are used in our center and may not be brought into our Center by families.
