OnTRAC Learning Center

 

Thank you for your interest in the OnTRAC Learning Center.  We have been implementing modified operating practices such as smaller group sizes, health screening at drop off and throughout the day, modified meal and play practices, and an increased focus on hygiene and safety practices. The health and safety of children in our care and our staff has always been our top priority and will continue to be throughout this pandemic.

 

Below we have a link to our online video tour, please take a look and check out our incredible space.  We hope the video below helps give you a glimpse of what your child will be doing and where they will be actively learning and playing every day if you join our Learning Center.  If you have any questions or would like to set up an in-person tour please don’t hesitate to reach out to Holly Lee, OnTRAC Learning Center Supervisor at ontrac@jamestownparksandrec.com or 701-952-8723.

TRAC will be offering summer camps again this year!  Pick only the weeks you need care over the summer and your school aged kids will have a great time in our facility!

Family Literacy Camp

TRAC will be hosting family learning opportunities focused on providing caregivers with the knowledge and skills to support their young learners in a rich environment.  It is focused for families with children between the ages of birth to 5 years old.    Families who attend will receive access to TRAC for the entire day!   Register for this free event at the TRAC front desk today!

 

Each camp will be theme based upon a children’s book. The camp will consist of a shared group story time of the weekly theme book.  Children and caregivers will then divide into their respective groups with the children moving to the Adventure Space to complete an activity or project aligned to the theme and desired learning objective. Parents will receive information regarding learning objectives and implementation strategies to be used at home.

 

Please check back for dates and times of our next Family Literacy Camp.

Creative Curriculum Preschool Program

The On TRAC Learning Center utilizes the Creative Curriculum that encourages age appropriate exploration and discovery throughout the learning process.  This comprehensive program supports active learning and promotes progress in all developmental areas. Our Learning Center has four different classrooms based upon developmental stages of the children.  The Create, Encourage, Dream and Discover Rooms will inspire and motivate children with focus on developing leaders of tomorrow and overall wellness of the child. The On TRAC Learning Center is licensed by the state of ND.

Spark Curriculum

The Spark Curriculum is the foundation of the school aged program.  It incorporates academic STEM connections, character development and hundreds of activities to actively engage your child.

Our school aged program has a technology center available.

School Aged Programs

The On TRAC Learning Center is excited to offer school aged programming during the summer months and over some school breaks.  Space will be limited so sign up early to reserve your spot.

Call for pricing and to reserve your child’s spot.

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.
