Although we have been providing childcare services since 1971, our intent to provide the highest quality, affordable child care and early education experiences available for your child has never wavered. Our people are standing in your place while you are on your job, so quality care, the kind you would give, is a very serious obligation for us. We look after your child with the same warm concern that you would. We want to be your home away from home. Providing food and enough rest are part of this quality care. We prepare breakfast, a well-balanced lunch and a nutritious afternoon snack each day. In the summer children are able to help prepare food with ingredients they have grown at school. Planning the day so children don’t get overtired is a part of it. Comforting children when something goes wrong, just as you would do, is a steady concern. While you are busy at your job, the children are busy learning with their friends. We believe “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” – Fred Rogers). Children talk a lot as they play together. They look at books and pictures and exhibits in the rooms. They hear stories. They work on puzzles. They take trips. They paint. They work with clay and blocks. They pretend and make believe. Having your child at Thomas Learning Centers means that your child has two sets of caring people, both of whom want the days to go well. We hope you will try us. We know you will be pleased.

Child care
Noah’s Ark is an early learning center located within The Crossing Church in Westminster, Colorado. The goal of Noah’s Ark is to provide parents with a safe, trustworthy source for their childcare needs that combines the convenience of a larger center with the feel and comforts of a home-based childcare facility. You will find that the staff is always there to provide you with feedback, listen to any concerns, and ensure that your child is afforded the best possible care and education in your absence. This type of attention is our promise to you that you will always have someone to listen to your concerns and goals for your child. When we say you are part of the family at Noah’s Ark we mean it. Anything we can do to make your child’s time away from you more enjoyable is our pleasure. It is the philosophy of Noah’s Ark Learning Center that children are positively guided and nurtured to learn and grow by providing a foundation of developmentally appropriate activities and experiences. We believe in empowering the whole child and providing a rich and engaging curriculum to encourage this growth. Noah’s Ark provides inclusive settings in the classroom that recognize children’s varied abilities, interests, needs, and learning styles. We believe the most important learning is through curriculum based play. Play nurtures the cognitive, social, emotional, self-help, physical and problem solving skills which allows individual development. By focusing on the whole child, it is our hope that each child will develop a positive outlook towards school, appreciation of the world they live in, the confidence of their abilities and a life-long love for learning. Our teachers are experienced and knowledgeable and strive to have a partnership with parents in their child’s education. We believe that parents are a child’s most influential teacher and we want to support that learning at our preschool. Our teachers believe in on-going and open communication with parents utilizing monthly calendars of activities, monthly newsletters, daily schedules posted in classrooms and highlights of the daily events on parent boards. The foundation of a successful school experience for your child starts with open communication and mutual respect between teachers and parents. We look forward to working with you and your child!

My name is Trish but my daycare children call me Grandma Trish. I have been loving and caring for children for 11 years. I did child care when my children were little for about 5 years before my own mother retired to watch and love my girls while I went back to work out of my home full time. You see I was very picky who watched my children no one was good enough except my mother. I had the best of the best for my own children and that s why I am doing just that in my own child care today. Simply put it, I love what I am doing, I love and care for each child as if I was their grandmother. Children learn to respect and care for one another from the tiniest baby to the older after school child. Each child is loving, kind, and well mannered. When we are out on a field trip people stop and comment on how pleasant the children are. The children learn as they play. I have all the tools from infants to 12 year olds for them to learn and grow. I want the children I care for to blossom and grow while I care for them so they have a great start in life and hopefully turn into amazing adults
