About Small World
Providing The Highest Quality Early Childhood Education, in a safe and loving environment
Small World Early Learning and Development Center offers early childhood care and education in Keystone STARS 4 facilities that are staffed with nurturing, educated, creative and highly qualified teachers.
ABOUT US
Small World Early Learning and Development Centers were established in 1981, and we are pleased to be the oldest child care centers in the downtown area. Both of our centers are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare, and we are one of two NAEYC-accredited facilities in the area. In addition, Small World Early Learning and Development Centers do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national and ethnic origin, or handicap in administration of their educational policies. At our facilities, we do not produce copies; rather, we aid in creating originals by helping your child reach his or her full potential.
At Small World Early Learning and Development Centers we are committed to excellence in the field of child development. We focus in on every child’s intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. Our children develop physically through movement and play. They learn to socialize and develop emotionally through age-specific peer interaction and group activities. Our children are presented with age-appropriate cognitive exercises designed to accelerate their intellectual development and increase their chances for future academic success.
We offer care from ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. In our program we follow state accredited curriculum to teach and guide students. We use this curriculum in all aspects of development. Small World is fully-licensed and accredited by the state of Pennsylvania and participates in the Keystone STARS program , which provides the standards for high quality early childhood education
ABOUT OUR TEACHING STAFF
Your child is cared for by a highly trained staff. Each of our professionals either holds a degree in education or child care curriculum, or has many years of child care experience. Additionally, we are proud that more than half of our staff members have been with us for more than 3 years, and many of them have celebrated their 10th anniversary!
ABOUT OUR SAFE FACILITY
To provide an extra measure of security, both of the facilities have state-of-the-art video camera security systems to monitor and record all the child care areas. From the moment we are open to the time we close, rest assured that your child is safe at our center.
