About the Provider

Advertisement
Parents are an important part of a successful Childcare Program. Through parental involvement, we are better able to meet the developmental and personal needs of your children. As childcare professionals, we can serve as a valuable resource for the parents and their children concerning most areas of child development. Therefore, we would like to think that families and child care centers can and should work together to provide an environment that facilitates the growth of a child into a physically healthy and emotionally happy child.

Our program has been developed to help facilitate the relationship between caregivers and parents by providing them with specific information about our center and our policies and to make their child/children a well rounded and independent kindergartener. Hopefully this web site will reinforce what you see and hear in our centers.

The staff at BEACON CHILDREN'S LEARNING CENTER of Indiana and, BEACON CHILDREN'S LEARNING CENTER Greensburg South, all consist of highly qualified, trained, and experienced individuals who share the same philosophy when dealing with children. Our staff has the ability to recognize, guide, and support your children through these early stages of their life. Each of our staff is very conscientious about the quality of their work.

Thank you for considering sharing your child with us at BEACON and joining us in providing the best possible atmosphere for your child, your daycare staff, and yourself.
