Milestone Learning Center is a wonderful daycare where we're all about helping kids grow, be creative, and develop in a healthy way! We think kids learn best when they're doing things hands-on and getting involved. We make yummy, healthy meals right here, and kids even get to help out in the kitchen on Cook It Up Wednesday, which is a blast for learning about nutrition and life skills. We also encourage kids to explore their creativity with fun projects like drawing self-portraits and inventing their own games for everyone to play. And guess what? We love getting outside! Skating, rock climbing, and park visits are all part of the fun, helping kids develop their physical abilities and learn how to work together. At Milestone Learning Center, we're always there to support each child as they reach their big developmental milestones in a fun, safe, and super enriching environment. Hours of Operation: Monday through Friday 2:30pm to 8:30am - Saturdays for overnight pick-up of children
