Our Director, Eliza Pinnegar, has a PhD in early childhood education with an emphasis in curriculum development. Our goal is to provide quality childcare without premium pricing. We aren't aligned with education styles like Reggio Amelia and Montessori, as we pull from these and other styles to cater to your child's specific way of learning. We have a full time CNA on staff to ensure proper care is always taken with all medical needs your child may have. Our goal as providers is to build a solid educational foundation with your kids. It is important that we teach them how they best learn while encouraging them to understand how smart they truly are! Learning Adventures Child Care Centre is committed to the health and wellness of children, building relationships with the wider world, and exploration of everything through personalized attention and small group sizes. With the demands on parents, families, teachers, and children, we provide a place to help ease the tensions and allow families to just spend time together, State Daycare license pending - City license approved, Fire Marshall approved, health inspector approved, business license approved with City of Orem and State.

Hello!, My name is Emily, I'm 23 years old and live in Alpine with my 2 yr old son and my husband. I am looking for a few children to watch in my home. We have a big play room, a big yard, we do lots of activities and take field trips to thanksgiving point and the aquarium often. I have worked in Montessori school, cared for children in my home, and have lots of experience with children. I want to give your kids my full attention, I hope that you would accept nothing less. I love to engage children with hands-on activities designed to stimulate the brain. I love helping kids learn new things whether they are new words or how to clean-up after themselves. I want the kids to be able to tell their Mom and Dad what they learned at the end of each day. I am open to bringing the kids to activities. I have a Pass of all Passes and would be open to getting a Thanksgiving Point Pass as well. I'm comfortable transporting the kids as necessary in my SUV. I m also open to running errands, changing diapers, meal preparation, light housework, or other tasks that can be done while caring for the children. If you were to hire me then you could expect your kids to have a much higher quality time than they would in any institution you could drop them off at. I would be sending multiple pictures/updates throughout the day and be available to take a call at any point. You could expect an orderly home when you come back. If you re interested in interviewing me in person or by phone then I can be reached at 385-218-7732. If I don't answer then please send a text. I'm happy to provide any references and answer any questions you may have. Emily

Hi, my name is Melissa and I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about my facility! After finishing my Masters degree in Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Development in 2016, I decided I wanted to provide the type of childcare services I struggled to find for my own children while working and going to school full-time for many years. It is my goal to provide the best childcare option for you and your children. In addition to our use of the High Scope math and Zoophonics curriculum, at The Lighthouse we focus on developing the whole child through engaging arts, science, and literacy lessons. We seek to foster a love of reading both fictional and non-fictional, age appropriate books to incite curiosity and build a strong reading foundation. Children also gain an early love of STEM subjects as they engage in hands-on, exciting activities and experiments that allow them to create, discover, hypothesize, and test their own theories. For school-aged children on a before and after school schedule, we offer daily robotics lessons using the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT Platform as well as homework support. Our daily activities ensure children are exposed to a variety of age-appropriate toys and lessons that incorporate critical thinking skills and inquiry-based learning so they can explore and experiment at their own pace. Children are also given multiple opportunities each day to express themselves through music and movement, dramatic play, and outdoor play to develop social skills in a safe, loving environment . Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!
