Celebrating Every Child's Uniqueness
When you trust your child to the care of others, you need to know that this home away from home is the best you can provide. You need the peace of mind that comes from leaving your child in a clean, caring, and educationally stimulating environment. And you need options that work with your schedule. That's why you will want to consider Scottsdale Child Care & Learning Centers for your child.
History
Scottsdale Child Care & Learning Centers has been providing quality and licensed daycare and early childhood education to Scottsdale area families since 1994. Our main purpose is to meet the basic needs of each child (social, physical, emotional, and intellectual) with love, unique care, integrity, and generosity.
Mission
We celebrate your child as a unique and precious God-given being. Our staff is dedicated to providing a nurturing place where children can build a foundation for continued learning. We believe a feeling of self-worth is one of the greatest attributes that we can instill in your little one.
Our Directors
Kierland- Nina Stolarski
My name is Nina Stolarski, the dedicated Facility Director at the Kierland location. Leading our fantastic team and ensuring the smooth operation of our facility has been my privilege since June 2021. My journey began in 2015 when I started as a passionate educator at 17. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork. By fostering strong relationships with our staff, parents, and community, we can create an inclusive and supportive environment where every child can thrive. Outside of work, you'll often find me enjoying outdoor activities, pursuing my hobbies, and spending quality time with my family. I'm pursuing further education in management to enhance my skills and contribute even more effectively to our team.
Raintree- Pam Baumann
My name is Pam Baumann, and my journey with SLC began in April of 2021. Over the past three decades, I've dedicated myself to working with children in various capacities. As a PTA Mom, a committed volunteer with the non-profit MASK (Mothers' Awareness on Social-Age Kids), and a dedicated Sunday School teacher for a decade, my passion for supporting children and families has only deepened. With two adult children of my own, I eagerly anticipate the joy of grandchildren. My commitment to excellence in early childhood education led me to obtain certification in Early Childhood Education Administration through The National Early Childhood Program Administration.
Raintree- Hailey Baribeau
Hi, I am Hailey Baribeau and I am a Director at Scottsdale Learning Center at Raintree. I have been at SLC for about 10 amazing years, and I began working in the one-year-old program at just sixteen years old! It is such a blessing to watch each child grow up and I am truly SO grateful and blessed to be a part of the SLC team. In my free time, you will catch me spending time with my family and friends, cooking new recipes in my kitchen, traveling, and going skiing! I love being part of this amazing team and feel so excited for the future of Scottsdale Learning Center.
Our Teachers
The teaching staff at Scottsdale Child Care & Learning Centers are sharp professionals who love working with the children at our schools, as well as devoting themselves to our high standards of quality Arizona childcare. Our teachers design a well-scheduled learning environment with creative activities that aid in their intellectual development. We strive to encourage positive interactions among children and parents.
We at Scottsdale Learning Centers know the value of consistency and excellence when it comes to children, which is why we employ early education professionals instead of just your average daycare workers. All of our teachers are held to a higher standard of early childhood education and are asked to exceed the state teaching requirements for continued training and education. We make this an attainable goal by hosting many continuing education classes at each of our Arizona preschool locations, as well as CPR and first aid certified.
