NEW LOCATION

Beginning with the 25/26 school year, JLC will be leasing classroom space at St. Agnes School, 1322 Sleepy Hollow Road in Ft. Wright.  We will continue to provide the high quality programs and community minded spirit that we are known for, and the teachers and I look forward to continuing this ministry at our new location.

Julie Learning Center is a preschool ministry of the SND-USA Congregation. Our program is focused on developing the imagination and creativity of our students through an immersion in brain based educational practices.  These include an appropriate balance of experiences in traditional academic content and Reggio inspired practices, as well as an outdoor nature program.  Our program is also designed to give the children experiences in living the gospel values and recognizing the provident care of God.

 

Our students, who range in age from 3 ½ through 5, play and learn together.  Instead of separate, age-based classrooms, we have a large central gathering space that contains our meeting rug, dramatic play areas, and academic centers.  This configuration provides an opportunity for all the children to learn from others, teach others, and practice their social and emotional skills.

 

Throughout the day, the children spend time outdoors exploring the campus.  They might visit the school and parish grounds or local neighborhoods to observe changes in the landscaped areas throughout the seasons, or rake the leaves on one of the large open lawns.  In the winter, they use art trays to sled down the hills when it snows, and in the spring they use those same hills to learn how to roll down them without going sideways.   We are outside almost every day for a minimum of at least two hours, most often more, so our students know how to dress for the weather and adapt to changing conditions throughout the year.

 

Most of our personnel have from 12 to over 30 years of experience as educators, while some of our staff  are beginning their careers in preschool education as they work to continue their education beyond their associate degrees.

 

We welcome inquiries from families interested in enrolling a child.  Call or email us,  and be sure to follow our Facebook and Flickr pages for photos that showcase our daily activities. 

 

Regards,
