On TRAC Learning Center Handbook

We encourage all families to review the Parent Handbook prior to enrollment. It is also useful to refer back to the handbook from time to time. Printed copies are available upon request from the Learning Center Supervisor.

Trained Staff

We take pride in providing a safe, healthy learning environment for every child within our care.  Basic child care training is required for all staff as well as continued education in early childhood care.  All Lead Teachers in the On TRAC Learning Center will have early childhood education training.  The entire staff is CPR and First Aid certified as well as gone through a comprehensive background check.

Secure Facility

Our facility is safe and secure.  Locked doors that cannot be opened from the outside without staff assistance separate the Learning Center and Adventure Space from the TRAC facility.  Our goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your child is safe and secure while in our care.

There is a fenced outdoor area for the children to play in.  We believe in fresh air and the benefits of being outdoors when appropriate.
