All Around Child Center For Exploration and Development

Specialties

By definition, «All Around» means to encompass all aspects. By our definition, «All Around» means to be given the opportunity to explore multiple «languages». These languages include, but are not limited to drawing, sculpting, writing, science, music and movement, literacy and math, and spoken language. We would like to welcome you to All Around Child, Center for Exploration & Development where we believe children are apprentices of their own learning.

Everything about All Around Child has been developed from a «World Wise» and holistic standpoint in order to meet each individual child and family’s needs to the best of our abilities. Our approach to curriculum and the environment is specialized according to each age group we serve. We invite you to join us for a tour of our facility at your convenience. Our programs serve children ages 2 weeks to 12 years of age. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 6:30am to 6:00pm.

History

Established in 2004.

All Around Child, Center for Exploration and Development first opened its doors on August 9^th, 2004 as a family owned, operated, and oriented center serving children ages 2 weeks to 12 years of age. My lifelong passion and ambition was always working with children. Even now that I have been educating children and teachers for over 20 years, I find myself continuously being «re-​inspired» by the daily ah-​hah moments and the smiles and giggles of children’s faces as they explore this ever changing world. I am inspired by their simple creations that turn into huge accomplishments, and I am inspired by the dedication that their teachers have to making a difference in the lives of the children they are present with every day. As a program, we have consistently offered our families a unique home away from home. Our curriculum is strongly based on educational achievement, the development of well-​rounded social skills, and an introduction to the arts. –Jill Serrano, Owner/​Director
