Based on Developmentally Appropriate Practices, our educational program starts in the infant room, is included with normal tuition for all children, and progresses with each child into our PreK 4 classroom. Our primary aim is to ensure that all children are ready for Kindergarten as defined by the standards set forth by the LA Dept. of Education.
Pink Room | Ratio 10:2
Our Classroom: Our infant environment is very unique and designed with the health, safety and education of our youngest learners.
Lime Room & Orange Room | Ratio 14:2
Curriculum to fit their developmental level. Classrooms are designed for children to explore and make choices about their play. We make sure children have access to a wide variety of fun and educational toys.
Green & Brown Room | Ratio 11:1
All two year old classrooms are set up with unique learning centers that encourage children to be self-sufficient while fostering an understanding of basic concepts.
Pre-K 2/3 Red Room | Ratio 22:2
Pre-K 3 Blue Room | Ratio 23:2
All three year old classrooms are set up with unique learning centers that encourage children to be self-sufficient while fostering an understanding of basic concepts.
Yellow Room | Ratio 24:2
All four year old classrooms are set up with unique learning centers that encourage children to be self-sufficient while fostering an understanding of basic concepts
We allow for homework time when the children return to the center in the afternoons. Some families prefer children to get their energy out and save their homework for home. Other families have busy schedules and extracurricular activities and find it helpful for children to get a head start on their homework.
Learn MoreEach classroom is equipped with lots of games, activities, and free space for the kids to make independent decisions on what they want to play. We offer a range of outdoor activities and games to indoor crafts, art, and movies. Given the choice to make their own decision, children in this age group enjoy summer camps much more than traditional group care.

Full circle moment 🥹Crazy to think I worked at Fundamentals Early Learning Center - Central in high school and now my last baby is attending there! 25 years of business is a great accomplishment and I’m grateful to be a small part of it! Thankful for Wyatt Graves, Paige Marie Comeaux and all the staff! 💜 ... See MoreSee Less

🩷🩷🩷8 years my family has been with Fundamentals Early Learning Center - Central! They have done more than just “watched” my children. They have educated, loved, hugged, embraced, grown them and deeply cared for them.
I’d be lying if I said I have never questioned something. But I promise that every concern I have ever had was met with grace, heart felt compassion and the desire to address my worries.
Paige Marie Comeaux has been a God send to Fundamentals. She is the back bone to that place and cares about each one of those babies that step foot into that center. Fundamentals functions because of her.
I would say that at least 95% of the staff know my child by name and know each member of my family by name; even if my child isn’t in their class.
I honestly get sad, as I think about baby 2 leaving after this school year. A new chapter will start for him soon and then I’ll only have 1 left at Fundamentals. But these people here will always be family to me. #happy25years ... See MoreSee Less

With everything Wyatt Graves has built over the last 25 years, from real estate and construction to investing and mentoring other entrepreneurs, you might wonder why early childhood education is still such an important part of his world.
Because some investments are about a whole lot more than buildings and bottom lines.
In 2001, Wyatt opened his first childcare center at just 20 years old. He probably had no idea how many families, teachers, and children would become part of his story over the next 25 years.
And while his businesses have grown and changed, his belief in the importance of early childhood education hasn't.
Every day at Fundamentals, our teachers are helping little people learn BIG things. How to make friends, solve problems, gain confidence, and discover what they're capable of.
Wyatt has spent his career building businesses, but we're pretty proud of what he's helped build right here in Central ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
