The philosophy of the Berkshire Heights Early Learning center is rooted in a developmental point of view. Our activities based program recognizes that children have varying abilities and learning styles. Our classrooms are designed to allow the child to develop at their own rate.
Our curriculum follows the Pennsylvania learning standards for early childhood. These standards, developed by the Department of Human, and the Department of Public Welfare ensure your child receives the highest quality of early childhood education.
Berkshire Heights Early Learning Center is a Department of Human Services licensed Child Care provider. The license confirms compliance with health and safety regulations among which include: staff/child ratio; size of age-appropriate groups; continuous supervision by qualified staff; size of indoor/outdoor space; individual center capacity; current medical information for children and staff, etc.
We provide a professional faculty committed to the development needs of each child. Our focus is to create daily activities that include fine and gross motor development, language arts, math, science, and social development concentrating on Kindergarten preparedness. The children are grouped by developmental needs and ages. Newsletters and calendars are provided to parents by the teachers throughout the school year.
This program is Parent Fee Funded. Operational costs as well as all other associated costs will be paid for from the revenue generated from the weekly fees.
Admissions, the provisions of services and referral of clients shall be made without regard to race, color, religious creed, disability, ancestry, national origin, age or sex.
