First Place Learning Center, Three Rivers

At First Place Learning Center, founder Anita Keene’s philosophy is that curriculum should be adapted to the needs of each enrolled child. It is our goal to provide a positive learning environment for children of all ages, whether it is their first experience in school, an encouraging continuation of previous experience, or a new adventure before and after school. It is essential to have open communication between the staff and parents so that we can work in cooperation to develop each child’s cognitive, physical, emotional and social skills. We provide each child with a variety of activities and experiences that arouse curiosity and stimulate all facets of learning. We strive to increase his/her confidence level through positive reinforcement and believe in a warm, loving place for a child to learn and grow. We take the privilege of caring for your child as a serious responsibility. At First Place Learning Center, you will find quality childcare made possible by the following: - A well-trained, caring staff of teachers A developmentally sound program and curriculum - A building designed for children’s needs - An ample playground with a variety of play equipment - A rich environment of age-appropriate developmental materials and equipment - A consistent, well-managed program under the supervision of responsive co-directors First Place complies with all regulations of the State of Michigan Department of Human Services Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing.
