Before & After Care

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.

  • We are committed to affirming and encouraging kids as they progress through the school year.
  • Experienced caregivers provide consistent mentorship and a balanced schedule for school age children.
  • Fun and interactive activities every day to keep schoolers engaged and excited!
  • We partner with families to help with homework routines and individualize educational support.
  • Low student to teacher ratios.
  • Focus on teamwork and team building fosters lasting friendships.
  • Year-round program that includes special event days during holidays and when school is not in session.
  • Safety is our first priority. From our bus procedures to daily classroom rules, your children are in excellent hands.
  • Transportation is provided by the local First Student Company provided by CCSS.

Some places become more than just a building. They become part of your family’s story. ❤️

Twenty-five years ago, Wyatt Graves began his journey in childcare with one facility called Planet Preschool.

The names have changed.
The buildings have changed.
Kids grew up.
New families walked through the doors.
And eventually, that journey led here, to Fundamentals Early Learning Center in Central.

But one of the things we’re most proud of isn’t something you can see in these pictures -- it’s the people who stay.

Teachers who have spent years loving and teaching our kids. Families who trusted us with their first child and came back with their second... and sometimes their third. Former students who are teenagers now and still stop by a place that was such a big part of their childhood.

That’s the kind of history you can’t manufacture.

And this month, we want to celebrate the people who made it.

If Fundamentals, Child Pros or Planet Preschool has been part of your family’s story, tell us your favorite memory below. Bonus points if you have an old photo to share—we’d LOVE to see those.
