About Us
We believe that children learn through the experiences they encounter in their environment as they examine, investigate, and question the “things” around them. Therefore; The Mustard Seed classrooms are designed in a manner in which children have the opportunity to develop cognitive skills through the construction of knowledge with hands-on materials and open-ended experiences and social skills through the interaction with other children and adults. The curriculum is developed to meet the developmental needs of each child in the classrooms through units that focus on the interests of the children.
Our Purpose
The purpose of The Mustard Seed Early Learning Center is to provide a learning community in which each child is developing and growing in all areas of development – social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language.
Our History
On November 1, 2004, The Mustard Seed-Early Learning Center opened our doors to the local community providing parents with a quality learning center close to home. As parents, Ms. Roxy and her husband know first hand just how difficult it is to find a quality learning environment for children.
Our commitment to you is to exceed the minimum standards in all areas in order for you to have peace of mind knowing your children are safe and loved while they are learning and growing in our care.
