The Learningden Preschool serves as an extension of your child's home. Our school is a place where children imagine, explore, create and learn with natural materials: clay, real art supplies, and items found in the home. We believe children learn through interaction with peers, parents, staff and friends in a friendly learning environment.
Our curriculum is based on the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education where topics are driven by questions, information and excitement expressed by the children themselves. We teach and nurture the whole child. We dedicate ourselves to a center where children flourish and have a strong sense of community, family and togetherness.

As a parent, the educational approaches and influences used in daycare and preschool settings can be overwhelming to say the least. We at the Learningden want you to understand what each type of philosophy is and how each center will have a different approach in educating your child. Here is a brief description and history about each of the three most closely connected European philosophies.

Learningden was such an amazing experience for my son. Their approach to early childhood education is exactly what we were looking for. They teach the children ways to solve their issues rather than separating them from the problem. For example, if two children have an argument, they will show them how to talk it out and move forward. Each staff member treats the children with respect as "friends," which was very important to my husband and I, as we feel that children deserve just as much respect as any adult. They offer a wide range of activities for the children, from P.E., stretch and grow,
