About
Hanford Learning Center offers kindergarten preparation along with academics, language, motor, and behavioral activities. Children take part in STEM-based lessons, outside play, arts and crafts, story circle, and group story time.
• Ages: 3–5 years old
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:30am–4pm
• Price: Most of our Hanford families qualify for 100% free preschool tuition
Hanford Learning Center accepts children who are potty-trained (no pull ups) and who are 3 years old on or before December 1st. The program takes place in fun and safe outdoor spaces and in classrooms that feel like home. Educare teachers at the site are trained regularly.
Hanford Learning Center was founded in 2000 and is part of non-profit Educare Services, Inc. The mission of the program is to offer quality state preschool that prepares children for kindergarten and to provide a loving, supportive, and educational environment that is a place to learn, play, and grow. Educare develops partnerships with local schools and communities to deliver a high quality preschool experience.
The program offers warm welcomes and open doors at drop off and pick up, along with open, ongoing communication through daily chats, orientations and events, regular texts, phone calls, emails, and parent-teacher conferences twice a year. Families are invited to Annual Parent Orientation, Open Houses, Donuts with Daddies, Muffins with Mommies, Art Night, Farmers Markets, Fall Festivals, and Winter Singing Celebrations, and can take part in Parent Advisory Committee opportunities. Hanford Learning Center is now enrolling children in part-time and full-time programs.
The leadership team includes Maria Lopez as Site Supervisor, and Sandra Chaney, Jerri Yandell, and Lou Rena Lee on the Board of Directors. One parent shared that both a son and daughter attended this preschool, that the teachers kept the children safe at all times and taught them what was needed to prepare for kindergarten, and that the daughter loved the preschool and staff so much she was upset she would not be back the next year.
