Active Learning Center, as my child care is called, is the result of my love for working with young children and my desire to stay home with my son. While I received a B.A. degree, I had my son before finishing the Teaching Credential Program. I knew that if I were to open a child care, it would not be a "typical" one. I feel very strongly that young children learn an enormous amount in the first years, and I would do everything possible to maximize their potential later on in life. I believe that a love of learning is in the child's nature, and it is the responsibility of adults to foster and encourage learning. I also believe that no two children are exactly alike, and that is why we have made room for an activity room, two classrooms, a playground, and an art studio, to nurture different learning styles. Most importantly, I opened a child care because I truly feel passionate about what I do. I believe that a tour of our facility would reveal that.
