We understand the importance of positive role models and we take pride in providing a learning environment rich of opportunities to help build social skills. We support and encourage healthy relationships by leading positive interactions between children, families, and staff.
EDUCATE
Lens Learning Center uses the power of making learning a fun activity while simultaneously expanding their levels of knowledge. Our unique programs incorporate a variety of educational theories, while always keeping the child’s best interest in mind and allowing for hands-on, learning.
NURTURE & STIMULATE
Lens Learning Center believes that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.
