HUSD Early Learning
Who We Are
Our program offers infants, toddlers, & preschool-aged children a warm, safe, inclusive environment in which
they are encouraged to learn and grow in a developmentally appropriate manner through play-based, experiential learning.
Our Philosophy
Current research confirms that children learn best when they experience a variety of developmentally appropriate learning activities that incorporate a child’s individual strengths, needs and interests. Children play, explore, investigate, are appropriately challenged and have opportunities to be successful—all in the context of caring, supportive relationships.
Our Locations
We have preschools at East Avenue, Eden Gardens, Fairview, Faith Ringgold, Helen Turner, Lorin Eden, Palma Ceia, Park, Ruus, & Tyrrell.
