Welcome to the
Just Like Home Early Learning Center
Just Like Home Early Learning Center is a family-owned business that was opened in November of 2011. Our goal is to offer valuable care that national chain centers can not match. We staff the rooms in 10-hour days so that children experience consistency throughout the day, and parents can talk to a teacher that is with their child all day long. Our Lead teachers work four days a week with an Alternate Lead teacher who fills in on their off day. This provides a consistency that we know our parents appreciate, so they drop off and pick up with the same teacher who has been with their child all day long. Each classroom also has an assistant teacher who is assigned to that room every day of the week further cementing that continuity.
We offer parents access to view our rooms via webcam at any time, something other centers don’t do for their own reasons. We do not fear the additional oversight and scrutiny, we welcome it. Our center operates at below state ratios. We believe that by running lower ratios, the children receive more one-on-one time with their teachers and provides more stability and structure to the children. We are committed to our low ratios and our high standards, and we prove it.
Just as our name suggests, we have put a lot of effort into making our center feel just like home by combining the important aspects of home life with the benefits that a center can provide. We provide family-style dining along with socialization and learning from well trained staff.
There is always something fun to look forward to at Just Like Home Early Learning Center. We host many fun-filled family activities throughout the year.
Our curriculum is designed to allow teachers to plan developmentally appropriate, enriching and engaging activities for children.
Our teachers provide the children with age-appropriate social/emotional skills needed to aid in their learning.
Physical activity is an extremely important part of child development, which is why we have created both outdoor and indoor play spaces that allow children to learn through explorational imaginative play.
We utilize Procare Engagement App to communicate with parents throughout the day, live stream cameras in each classroom, and have controlled access to the center with the use of thumbprint scanners to permit access to enter.
Our teachers post weekly lesson plans that follow along with the curriculum and allow parents to be involved in their child’s education
Pre – K students attend a Kindergarten readiness class to help cement the skills needed for school.

Our daughter recently started attending Just Like Home and we could not be happier! She was immediately made to feel welcome and comfortable in her class. The teachers go the extra mile to inspire imaginative learning. The resources available to parents are second to none as well. We love Just Like Home!

We are new to this center, and have loved every minute of it! They were very quick to reply to emails, and help with all the questions we have had. My son enjoys walking in every morning, and running to play with his friends, it's definitely a nice change!

Love the daycare and the staff! Their level of transparency has given me complete peace of mind. Having access to the cameras and being able to watch my kids during the day is a huge plus as working parents! Thankful for the way they show up for children!

We started our youngest daughter at JLHELC last August. She started in the infant 2 room with Mrs. Sheila and Ms. Emily. They both are angels on earth, as the transition to daycare was hard on our little girl. They have always treated her like one of their own. Ms Ashley is also just amazing! She is transparent and so helpful and informative of things in the center. Our daughter loves all the teachers and staff at JLHELC. Each and every one of them treat her so well whether they are her teacher currently or not. We are very happy with JLHELC!!!
