Why Us

Great Start To Quality: Enhancing Quality

Providers demonstrate quality through their practices, interactions, and staff qualifications in five quality categories. Great Start to Quality supports this by coaching, mentoring, On-Site Observation of programs, and sharing resources.

Research Based Curriculum

HighScope’s fundamental approach is through active participatory learning — having direct experiences and deriving meaning from them through reflection — children construct knowledge that helps them make sense of their world. The power of learning comes from initiative. By encouraging children’s initiative, exploration, and independent problem-solving, HighScope teachers give children the support they need to become competent and confident learners.

Highly Qualified Early Childhood Staff

We maintain the highest standards of academic excellence, starting with the educators who guide your children. Every classroom at the LCS Early Childhood Center is led by highly qualified, state-licensed staff. Through continuous professional development and a deep understanding of early milestones, our dedicated team provides a secure, enriching environment where your child can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

Play TOGETHER Learn TOGETHER

Parent–Child Exploration: Our Play TOGETHER, Learn TOGETHER program offers free sessions up to twice a week for families with children from birth to five years old. Through shared play, hands-on activities, and socializing, children naturally build the social and developmental foundations they need for the future. Supported by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.
