Is Your Child Ready for the Big Stage?

Celebree Learning Centers to Host Annual Open House on Saturday, August 13th

On Saturday, August 13th, Celebree Learning Centers - a leader in providing the best care for infants, toddlers, preschool and school aged children – will host Open Houses at its two Howard County locations to provide families looking for child care an opportunity to see its facilities and get questions answered by its stellar teachers and staff.

During this back to school season, Celebree Learning Centers would like to remind everyone about the importance of early childhood education and the need to start children down the right path for their development. Celebree asks Howard County parents, “Is your child ready for the big stage?”

Research shows only 45% of students demonstrate the skills and behaviors needed to fully participate and succeed in kindergarten (Ready at Five). The skills and knowledge children have upon entering school is strongly predictive of future academic success and children, who enter kindergarten behind their peers, are unlikely to catch up.

Key academic, social, and cognitive skills are shaped during these years, helping to determine a child’s success in school and in life. In order to ensure children are fully prepared, Celebree utilizes a multifaceted developmental milestone system to advance and track a child’s development.
