Who We Are

Cub Care Learning Center is a MO Licensed and Accredited preschool that has been a Blue Springs School District program since 2003.

We believe a child's development benefits most in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program in which staff and family work closely together.

We strive to provide a quality, loving, active learning environment for children which enables them to develop and progress in their social, physical, literacy, and cognitive development.

 

Curricula

Creative Curriculum is implemented with children birth to three years of age. Creative Curriculum is designed to help educators offer responsive daily routines and meaningful experiences that nurture learning and development.

Tuition Fees

Home Visits/Parent Teacher Conferences

Conferences and home visits strengthen the bond between the teachers, child, and family. An initial conference is held to familiarize the family with the classroom staff and the educational components of the program.

Cub Care staff will meet with the child's family either at school or in the home to discuss the child's educational progress during the fall, winter, and spring.
