The early learning program at the Sheila Reynolds Berner Family Center provides high-quality early childhood education for 90 children ages 0-5 years old.
The center serves a racially and ethnically diverse group of students and families and trains childcare professionals to be culturally informed to support the child’s home culture and language.
The Family Center uses Creative Curriculum through Teaching Strategies Gold to create lesson plans and assess children’s development across several learning objectives. The center promotes school readiness, so children enter elementary school with the academic and social skills to succeed and bond with students and teachers.
Tours are available for prospective parents who may be interested in having their child enrolled in our Early Childhood Education Program.
To inquire about scheduling a tour, please contact the Family Center at 773-764-7610.
