“My son turned five in the summer and I knew he wasn’t ready for kindergarten. I wanted to find a learning environment that would help him gain the confidence he needed to be away from mom and dad for longer periods. After discovering The Learning Ladder and meeting the staff, I knew my son would do well. Having him interact with children of all ages, I felt it would help him deal with many situations. The past year has done wonders for my son. He’s more of a leader now and is much more confident in himself.”

“The Learning Ladder has provided my children with a warm and secure environment and plenty of attention from caring adults. My children have gained self confidence by being encouraged to learn, develop and grow in their own unique way with lots of teacher encouragement. They have had the opportunity to discover, have fun, and learn from a huge range of materials and activities located at a child’s eye level that change continuously. The communication between home and school has been awesome! There are also many opportunities for parents to be involved throughout the year. The Learning Ladder has provided a very positive experience for my children!”
“We love it!”
