ITAC - It Takes A Community To Raise A Child Multi-Programmatic Learning Center

ITAC Flyer

What is your child learning at his/her daycare center?

By the time your child is 36 months old, there are 685 developmental skills that your child should have mastered! At the newly open learning center, we teach developmental skills using age appropriate materials, curriculum, music, art, dramatic play, science, fine/gross motor, children's literature, sand and water play, & sensory experiences.

Does your daycare have sufficient materials & equipment?

Here are just some of the skills your child should be learning in order to be successful in first grade and on. Remember there are about 685 skills. The number next to the skill indicates the month a skill begins to emerge.

Does your daycare teach these skills? If the answer is no and you are Satisfied, then that's fine.

But...your child's daycare center should be doing more than just babysitting!
