LADC is proud to have earned NAEYC Accreditation, the mark of quality for early childhood education.

Children enjoy outdoor large muscle playtime every day during summer, fall and spring classes. Designated outdoor days are scheduled several times a week during winter, weather permitting.

The Science Center gives daily opportunities for children to learn about cause and effect, properties of matter, simple machines and explore the natural wonder of our world!

The LADC classroom is designed into Learning Centers, which change every week and are developed around a unit of learning/letter of the week. Centers include science, art, reading, writing, dramatic play, sensory and promote individual learning as well as cooperative play skills.

LADC’s Infant and Toddler programs provide warm, nurturing environments for young children to blossom and grow in the early years of learning.

Indoor large muscle time happens every day, helping to develop new skills, physical strength, coordination and balance. Large muscle group games also promotes team work and social skills.

The Housekeeping and Dramatic Play areas give children the opportunity for creative and imaginative play. These “hand’s on” learning areas are changed weekly to enrich the unit of learning theme.

Almost every day, the teacher brings a puppet to introduce the theme or special activity, engaging young learners and building excitement for the fun learning planned for the day!

Children gather at the start of every class to welcome each other, sing songs, hear stories and prepare for the learning activities planned. A story often introduces the theme of the day.

In every classroom, Sensory centers offer “hand’s on” learning that gives the opportunity to supplement other areas of development, like math and science.

Technology is a part of our world. By introducing technology in the classroom, children can explore these tools around them to learn more about shapes, numbers, colors, letters and more!
