YOUNG PEOPLES LEARNING CENTER

Have we hugged your kid today?

-The Old Town Child Care Center-
Care for children ages 1 - 15 years

At Young Peoples, we take seriously the responsibility we hold – your child. We welcome the opportunity to help them to learn and grow, and to do it in a caring, safe, and wholesome environment. Education and experience are crucial elements, but we think our attitude towards kids is the core requirement in being able to provide quality care for your child.

We offer smaller class sizes and better equipped facilities. We have very competitive rates and believe that when you compare us to any center in town you will consider us the best value in town – especially for your children.

This attitude carries over to some of the extra things we do. Things like being open many Friday nights so parents can go out (including all Fridays in December before Christmas); never being closed because of snow; our summer Splash Party; Our Thanksgiving Feast; and our Holiday Sing Program.

So if you are considering child care for the first time, or just want to see if there is something better for your child, please give us a call and set an appointment so we can show you what we have to offer.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe, happy, and educationally enriching environment for children. We recognize the individual needs of each child in developing socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. We help them grow by nurturing their talents, teaching their minds, and challenging their limits everyday through learning and play.

Our Programs

Young Peoples Learning Center is a non-discriminating, state licensed, preschool/child care center for children 1-15 years of age. Toddler care, for children 1 to 3 years, is offered at our Mathews Street location and Preschool care, for children 2 ½ to 5 years, is offered at our Plum Street location. For school age children, we offer transportation from selected nearby schools to our school age program. Our Schoolagers also enjoy special weekly programs for Christmas and Spring Breaks; the most active summer programs around for children ages 5 to 10 years (KinderCamp and FunCamp); as well as a unique, very active summer program for 11 to 15 year olds (TeenCamp.)

Most people select Young Peoples as their preschool/child care center because we have a small, homelike environment - a good stepping-stone between home and elementary school. We keep our learning group sizes small and studies have shown that group size is a critical factor in providing a positive learning environment. We believe that it is because of these two reasons that our staff turnover is low. It is not unusual for our teachers to remain with us 5 years or more. We invite you to walk around, observe, and talk with the staff and children and see Young Peoples for yourself.

Young Peoples Learning Center welcomes and celebrates the diversity of our students. We accept students with disabilities whenever feasible. We will work with outside agencies in order to provide the programming needed.
