The children are learning at their own pace and through their own play experiences.
Our curriculum is play based, allowing the children to explore their own learning, while offering guidance through their experiences and discoveries. In order to meet the needs of the children enrolled at A Shining Star Learning Center, our faculty members observe each child as he or she plays. Each child is an individual with his or her unique personality and style of learning. The faculty observes and documents the child’s development and mastery of skills, along with the individual interests of each child. This information is shared with parents by daily take home sheets and progress reports.
A Shining Star Learning Center is located in Normal, Illinois, located at the corner of Main Street (US51) and Raab Road. We provide a secure and loving environment where each child is encouraged and supported to achieve to the best of their abilities in all areas.
