About
The Learning Center
Providing TLC to Children
The Learning Center celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019, making us the oldest childcare center in the Milford, DE, area. We achieved 5 Stars in Delaware’s QRIS (Quality Rating Improvement System). We are family-owned and operated, so we embrace family involvement for the success of all the children in our care. Many of our classroom professionals have early childhood credentials and we have a significantly high staff retention rate. This all means that your child will have all the benefits of an established childcare and preschool center with experienced, dedicated staff, parent involvement, and a solid curriculum.
We strive to nurture the individuality in every child and to respect and encourage individual differences.
