Early Birds Before-School Care is designed as a before-school program where children can be dropped off prior to school hours and transported to their designated schools for school-aged education.
Children in the MLP Preschool may also attend this program and will transition directly into their classes on site.
This program will provide breakfast for the children as well as safe transportation to their learning environment.
Children will be given an opportunity to start their day in a positive way with educationally-supportive and motivational and encouraging activities prior to leaving for school. Christian-based activities will help the children to feel supported and encouraged as they begin their day of learning.
Homework Helpers After-School Care is an after school homework and tutoring program where children will be safely transported from their school-age learning environments to Mountain Learning Enrichment for car, continued learning, and enriching activities.
Children will be given the support they need to assist in homework or tutoring any help they may require as well as have an opportunity to transition into such activities as gymnastics, tumbling, cheer, ninja, dance, music, theater, art, and more. Snacks will be provided and children will be given the chance to continue their learning skills as well as wind down as needed.
Activities to encourage creativity will be offered for those students who do not transition into a structured class and children will be given opportunities for music and movement, art, and other developmentally-appropriate activities.
Parents and caregivers will pick their children up from the Homework Helpers program for transport to their home environment.
“As a mom of four children, I have found that finding childcare has been the most difficult and stressful part of being a working mom. I have had multiple experiences of good and bad child-care situations that have negatively impacted my family, both emotionally and mentally. Having a place like MLE to send your child to, knowing their needs are being met, is priceless. MLE has offered a place where my child feels safe, secure, and loved. A place where they can not only learn educational standards but lessons about Jesus and loving one another as Christ loves us. A place where their physical needs and emotional needs are being met through social interactions with adults and peers. MLE has brought a sense of security and safety to my family during a very difficult time of trying to finding childcare. My child feels safe and secure which allows for him to be able to develop and grow appropriately. Giving families a place like MLE to send their children is critical to the continued development of our community and the development of our future… our kids.”
“Sending my son to MLE has provided a sense of relief to my husband and I. His prior daycare was unreliable, and as the year went on, our son began to ask not to go to school anymore. This was SO unlike him. Since starting at MLE, he’s happy to go to school, and my husband remarked that everyone (teachers and students) is happy at drop off! Removing this stressor from our life by providing a consistent source of childcare is one thing, but to provide happiness to my son is priceless!!! We are so thankful for the MLE and the positive effect it has had on the mental health of each member of our family.”
