Merging Teaching and Childcare
At Tanglewood Learning Center, we provide a comprehensive range of programs tailored to support children at every stage of early development. Including specialized daycare services for infants and toddlers that foster growth and early learning. For preschool-aged children, we build a strong foundation in literacy, numeracy, and social skills, while our Voluntary Prekindergarten program prepares them for the transition to formal schooling.
We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our center.
We also offer an engaging Afterschool program that includes enrichment activities and homework assistance, ensuring continued support beyond the school day. Additionally, we accept Early Learning Coalition (ELC) funding, including School Readiness, making our high-quality education accessible to a wider range of families.
By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly.
