Founded in
1999
Built on 27 Years of Love, Learning, and Trust
Learning Days was inspired by a passion for working with children and supporting families in the community. After earning a bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology and working with children and families, the founder saw how important the early years are in shaping a child's confidence, learning, and future success.
In 1999, Learning Days was created to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children could learn through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships.
As a parent, the founder understood how important it is for families to find quality childcare they can trust. The goal has always been to create a program that feels like an extension of the family — a place where children feel loved, respected, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
More than 27 years later, that mission remains the same.

Sample Daily Schedule
Strong Communication with Families
Learning Days Center values strong communication with parents. Families stay connected through the Brightwheel app, where they can receive updates, messages, photos, and important information about their child's day.
This helps parents feel informed, involved, and connected to their child's daily learning experiences.
Health, Allergy, and Medication Policies
Families must notify the center of any food allergies, medical conditions, or dietary restrictions during enrollment. Individual care plans are maintained for children with diagnosed allergies.
Medications are only administered with written parent authorization and proper documentation. Prescription medication must be in the original pharmacy-labeled container.
To protect all children and staff, children should remain home when they are ill. Children with vomiting or diarrhea must be symptom-free for at least 48 hours before returning.
