Plan a visitHow we see children
Children learn best when they are busy with their hands and with each other. At Liberty Learning Center, the day is built around play, positive social interaction, and activities chosen for each age. The curriculum supports social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth together, not one at a time. Children also explore the world around them, which is how new ideas stick.
In our rooms, play is the work of childhood. We offer developmentally appropriate activities for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Teachers support positive and social interaction throughout the day. They also plan learning through play that builds social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. Our staff have training from early childhood certification through 4 year college degrees, and many are pursuing further education or CDA certifications.
We adhere to Pennsylvania rules and regulations for child care facilities. Our staff have cleared all state mandated clearances and background checks necessary for employment, and they are CPR and First Aid Certified. Staff hold training from early childhood certification through four-year college degrees, and many are pursuing further education or CDA certifications. We also accept CCIS.
What you notice in practice
Teachers get down at eye level to talk with a child. They follow what interests the group and build activities from there. Small groups keep the day calm and let every child take a turn.
Rooms are set up for play and learning. Low shelves hold toys children can reach on their own. There are cozy corners for quiet time and open space for moving. The day has a rhythm: play, group time, meals, rest, and outdoor time. Teachers watch for cues and adjust the pace so children stay engaged. Learning through play is an understatement.
How we work with families
At pickup, teachers tell you what your child actually did that day. Families hear about the tower that finally stood up, the new friend at the sand table, the song sung three times in a row. If you have a question about your child's day or progress, ask a teacher or the office. Someone will answer it.
New children start with shorter days, then build up as they settle. A teacher stays close during that first stretch, showing where things go and who to play with. You can call to check in. From the baby room to the toddler room to Pre-K, the goal is the same: a child who is glad to arrive.
