Childcare Programs
Every child deserves a safe place to learn.
At Yellow Brick Road Early Childhood Development Center, we provide high-quality child care and early childhood education for children from six weeks through Pre-K, with school-age child care available at select schools across Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Our schools combine the nurturing care families expect from a trusted child care center with the academic foundation of a leading preschool program. During these critical early years, our experienced Teachers create safe, engaging learning environments where children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Each of our educational child care programs is catered to the specific age group, helping them develop different skills based on their age. Our infant program focuses a lot of sensory thinking and motor skills, while our pre-k program helps prepare children for the next steps in their academic career.
Through purposeful play and guided instruction, children develop social-emotional skills, early literacy and math foundations, problem-solving abilities, and the confidence to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
Whether families are seeking infant day care, preschool, pre-kindergarten, or before- and after-school child care, Yellow Brick Road provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning. View all of our locations and schedule a tour
