Belle City Learning Center is committed to providing families with the highest standard of child-inspired, professionally nurtured care and opportunities for learning.

We provide a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate program which fosters active learning, and support for the whole child as well as a child-centered environment. We foster innovation. We embrace teamwork. We strive for excellence. We respect and support families. We commit to service at all levels. We respect and appreciate diversity. We actively listen and seek to understand. We communicate openly and productively. We use resources creatively and responsibly. We abide by the NAEYC Code of Ethics and Statement of Commitment.

Our vision is to be nationally recognized as an outstanding childcare facility which recognizes the needs of children, families, and teachers.

Applicants are required to complete an application and background check before continuing our interviewing process. Aides must be at least 16 years of age; all other staff members must be at least 18 years of age and qualified as required by the DCFS licensing regulations. The state requires all staff working with children to complete a TB test and training for SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome prior to starting.

Once an individual has been hired, they must complete an orientation in which they will be trained on the Center’s policies through written material, observation, and direct interaction with the staff, parents, and children. All new staff members must complete all forms provided to them before their first day of orientation.
