Thank you for taking the time to learn more about The Place for Learning. Each day at our early childhood education center we seize exciting new opportunities to enrich the minds of our students, and we hope your child will join us.

The Place for Learning welcomes students regardless of race, gender, national and ethnic origin, and is nondiscriminatory in all our policies. We accept children between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years old.

There are no specific academic entrance requirements; however, we base admission decisions on many factors, especially your child’s age and suitability for our program.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us regarding availability for your child, and to schedule your personal tour of our school. We will happily answer your questions and provide additional information about our educational programs.

Kind regards,
