Bernice E. Lavin Early Childhood Education Center

Early Education & Preschool That's More than Daycare

Welcome! Our goal is to foster your child’s development with enriching activities and learning-based play. Our children’s library and Growing Readers nook foster a love of reading, and the science station is the perfect place to experiment and explore. The music exploration room and dramatic play areas encourage creativity, and our rooftop garden allows little hands to dig in and learn about the environment. Plus, our summer camp includes a child-made farmer’s market, and our three Smart Boards nurture 21st-century technology skills. Come in for a tour of our state-of-the-art center and to meet our staff.

Health, Safety, and Wellness at Our Center

Your child’s safety and wellness is our top priority. We continue to monitor state and local public health guidelines, look to our medical expert, and use our considerable experience to guide our health and safety practices. Our centers take important steps to ensure the very best for every child, and the Health and Wellness portion of our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum incorporates lessons about these essential topics into every classroom, every day.
