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.

Fundamentals Early Learning Center - Central

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

As we celebrate Wyatt's 25-year journey in childcare this month, we're sharing stories from the families who have been part of it. And this one from Lanee Hebert is exactly why those years mean so much.

Lanee shared:
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Fundamentals Early Learning Center! Our family was a part of Fundamentals for 7 years, and I can truly say it was one of the biggest blessings for our children.

Over the past 7 years, we have watched our children learn, grow, and reach so many milestones, all while being surrounded by teachers and staff who genuinely love and care for them. As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your children are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment every single day.

What makes Fundamentals so special is that it is more than just a daycare or learning center. It truly feels like family. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make every child feel loved, encouraged, and supported.

After 7 years, I can confidently say that choosing Fundamentals Early Learning Center was one of the best decisions we have made for our family."

Twenty-five years of childcare experience is something we're proud to celebrate. But hearing what those years have meant to the families we've served? That's what makes this anniversary so special.

Because the real measure of what we've built isn't how many children have come through our doors. It's the place we get to hold in their lives long after they've left.

Thank you, Lanee, for trusting us with your babies for seven wonderful years and for sharing a piece of your family's story with us. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
