the learning center approach

Like Arrows Learning Center is more than just care while parents work. We are a state licensed center that is regulated by the Virginia Department of Education. Nestled in Front Royal, Virginia we offer a convenient location for our local families as well as commuters. Our goal and priority is to provide high quality experiences for children from birth to five by including enriching activities in developmentally appropriate environments, while also providing families with necessary resources and support. We also extend care for school age children with a Before & After School Program.

Quality Matters

When deciding on a center, parents, should be looking for programs that will support their child’s health, happiness and development. It is important to find an early learning center that promotes a safe, fun environment where children can PLAY, LEARN and LAUGH!

Research tells us that 90% of brain development occurs in the first five years of life, and what children experience in these early years (see, hear, smell, taste and feel) shapes their brains. High quality child care programs feature enriched experiences that are linked to greater achievement and success in school and in life.

 

Our Program:

  • Relationships & Interactions

    We are committed to fostering relationships with the children by consistently meeting their needs and building confidence.

  • Staff Qualifications & Training

    Our staff meets and exceeds training guidelines as given by the state. All staff are First Aid & CPR certified and complete ongoing training related to their role throughout the year. All staff have passed a Virginia Record & FBI Screening Background Check as well as a Central Registry Unit Background Check.

  • Play & Learning

    Our daily schedule utilizes an age appropriate curriculum that meets the 5 areas of learning. We incorporate various resources and methods to build lesson plans that engage the children through their senses and with hands on learning to help build a foundation for school readiness. Our goal is to nurture a love of learning at all levels.

  • Health & Safety

    We pride ourselves in the presentation of our center. With regular maintenance and cleaning we hope to provide safe areas for the children. As well as a clean center, we also promote good hygiene with the children and wash hands many times throughout the day. To keep germs down as much as possible the center also implements policies regarding illnesses.
