We are open from 6:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, year around.
A nurturing environment, an inventive curriculum, and a loving staff of quality care givers means added security, stimulation and warmth for our children--and piece of mind for us when we can’t be with them.
The Noel Group understands the need for high-quality childcare, so we’ve created the Noel Learning Center for the children in our community. Our desire for excellence inspires our efforts to extend beyond each child to their entire family—our doors are always open for visits with the children from mom, dad, grandma or big brother. Led by a mentoring director, our primary caregiving teams are comprised of individuals who specialize in early childhood education and developmentally appropriate programming.
Providing funding for our caregivers to attend workshops is one way the Noel Learning Center ensures continuing education in the field of early childhood education; monthly staff training is another. An onsite staff resource room where content specific reading materials and videos can be obtained also proves the Noel Learning Center intends to exceed annual state educational requirements.
Furthermore, all employees must successfully complete a drug test and a thorough criminal background check.
Customizing care and activities that interest and comfort children while helping them continually learn and grow within a welcoming, safe environment is an integral element of our philosophy. Our curriculum is our plan of action for interaction between your children, families and our primary care team. We respect cultural diversity and the influences each culture has on shaping our children, our communities and our world.
Child care is a far cry from just providing the obvious, so we’ve selected The Creative Curriculum to encompass an interesting blend of activities that captivate, stimulate and educate all children according to their age and individual stage of development. Designed to elevate growth in the cognitive, social, emotional and physical areas of development, our curriculum is developmentally appropriate based on the position statement from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
At the Noel Learning Center, children’s immediate interests direct the flow of activities within an environment that gives specialized care for special needs. For example, after reading "The Rainbow Fish," the children’s interests carry over to the fish tank. Watching tropical fish gives children the opportunity to learn about different movements, shapes, sizes and textures. But Tommy is visually impaired. Does that mean he’ll miss out? Absolutely not, because he’ll explore the hands-on fish mobile made especially for him by our staff.
