Who We Are

Formative Years Learning Center is a private, non-sectarian preschool that has been serving the center city community's need for professional early childhood education and care for 30 years.

Our Director, Ann M. Seelaus, has over 30 years of early childhood teaching experience along with a creative passion for making learning FUN! Each of our teachers are personally commited to making sure that we tap into each child's potential in the way that best suits their needs and disposition. We believe that optimum learning happens when the curriculum is fun and relevant to the child's world around them. Our program is designed for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. We offer multi-age, multi-cultural groupings and an open-education program that is individually geared to each child's interests and abilities. We maintain a limited enrollment and small teacher-to-child ratios in order to provide an optimal learning experience for all.

We provide a creative and caring learning environment that is safe, comfortable and specifically designed for children.

Our goal is to ensure that each child receives a happy, secure start in their growth as creative individuals.

We are an active member of our community and our students learn directly what it means to be a "good neighbor".
