A CHILDS FUTURE EARLY LEARNING CENTER

6673 STEIN WAY MACUNGIE, PA

393 mi

At A Child’s Future Early Learning Center, we are dedicated to implementing a high quality program which encourages children to learn through hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. Supporting and educating parents in a combined effort to best guide and instruct their child(ren) during their growth and learning process. Our teacher’s facilitate your child’s education by setting up a variety of learning areas for children to choose from. The children are guided by the teachers with open ended questions and positive reinforcement. We believe children gain knowledge about the physical and social world they live in by playful interaction with objects and people. Children learn best when their environment is made appealing and they are motivated by their own interests and desires. When teaching young children, we need to remember that the curriculum meets the child’s needs and also stimulates their developmental learning in all areas: physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. We understand that each child is an individual and set the classrooms up to provide each child with a positive feeling about themselves and a fun interactive learning atmosphere.

FAQs for finding a drop-in daycare near you

Drop-in daycare is a helpful alternative for parents who need occasional, short-term child care, or often need care without much notice. It provides a safe and supervised environment for children across many age ranges. Different drop-in daycares may offer different services such as arts and crafts projects, snack time, music or dance activities, or even field trips! These drop-in centers are sometimes open late into the evening, and they usually require no reservation beforehand, making drop-in daycare a fantastic last-minute solution.

Drop-in daycare provides families with increased flexibility and convenience in child care arrangements. The as-needed basis without having to commit to a full-day or multi-day program is also often more affordable than other types of child care, while still providing access to quality care in a safe, structured environment. Additionally, drop-in daycare centers are great for parents who need occasional child care when their regular sitter is unavailable.

Figuring out how to find a good drop-in daycare center is easy with the help of Care.com. You can compare profiles for all drop-in daycares near you, can check out their rates, and can even read reviews from other parents.

Generally, drop-in daycares are open on weekdays and some weekends, between the hours of 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM. It is important to contact your local drop-in daycare provider to confirm the exact hours of operation, as they may vary.
