Our mission is to provide young children with a secure physical and emotional environment, encouraging independence, self worth, and decision-making skills. We will promote the value of family and community, while promoting success through early intervention and the development of individual skills.
 
The Children's Learning Center was established in 1982 in conjunction with the Mt. Pleasant Area Technical Center. The Children's Learning Center is a year round child-care center as well as a laboratory site for area high school students enrolled in the Early Childhood Education Program.

The Children's Learning Center is a social/emotional-based center. Each level, infant through kindergarten, operates with a primary teacher or caregiver. A lot of individualized attention is provided for each child.

The environment offers a safe place where children can play, explore, learn important social skills, and develop emotionally and cognitively. The goal is to create a strong foundation for life-long learning.

The Children's Learning Center is open to the public and serves children from six weeks to kindergarten age. The Learning Center provides breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Parents provide personal supplies for their child (crib, diapers, wipes, change of clothing). The budget is supported with bi- weekly tuition payments. Hours of operation are 7:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
