Our Classroom
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. Our child-centered room arrangement allows children to move freely from one interest center to the next, giving them the opportunity to make plans and choices in their environment
Curriculum
We choose broad themes to explore that allow each classroom to individualize their study based on the teacher and children’s interests and questions. A study of animals for example, in one room may center on animals at the zoo while another classroom may focus on pets and how to care for animals in your home. This type of individualization allows teachers to modify curriculum and build on what is exciting to their group.
A Day in the Life
We believe in a balanced day for your child. We create the perfect mix between quiet and active times, large and small group learning, child initiated activities and teacher facilitated activities to create a day full of learning and fun!
Meals & Snacks
Children who are with us all day enjoy daily, nutritious snacks and meals. Besides a balanced meal, we also focus on table manners, independence and good eating habits.
Circle Time
Every day we gather together and share stories, talk about our day and plan our learning journey. Being together allows us to get to know our friends, sing songs and play learning games. We assign helpers for the day, give a weather report and take a look at our calendar.
Did you know our founder, Wyatt Graves, started his journey in childcare exactly 25 years ago today? 🎈✨
While Fundamentals opened its doors right here in Central back in 2013, the heart, experience, and passion behind our school have been growing for a quarter of a century through Wyatt and Janae.
For the entire month of October, we will celebrating 25 years of serving families! If you drop by the center this month, make sure to check out our special anniversary photo backdrop and balloon arch — we want to see your little ones celebrating with us! Snap a picture, tag Fundamentals, and help us celebrate 25 years of community and care. 📸❤️

* Wyatt has been in child care since before digital cameras! This picture is one of his first group of kids at his first facility, Planet Preschool. If you look closely, you can see him in the back ground! ... See MoreSee Less

🎉✨ 6.58… AND WE’RE STILL CELEBRATING! ✨🎉
There are some moments as an educator that make you stop and say, “WOW. Look at what you’re doing.” And this is one of them. 🥹💚
Gabby & Shelby earned a 6.58 on their CLASS observation! 👏👏
That number represents so much more than a score. It represents the little moments that happen all day long — the conversations, the encouragement, the curiosity, the laughter, the questions, the patience, and the intentional ways they help their children learn and grow. 🌱🧠❤️
It represents teachers who aren’t just in the classroom… but are truly present WITH their children.
And at Fundamentals, that’s something worth celebrating! 🌈
Gabby & Shelby — we see your hard work, we see your dedication, and we see the impact you’re making.
⭐️ 6.58 is a BIG deal.
💚 YOU are a BIG deal.
🎉 And we are incredibly proud of you!
Keep shining, ladies! 🌟👏 ... See MoreSee Less

🎉🌈 WHAT DOES A 6.03 CLASS SCORE MEAN?🌈🎉
We are SO excited to celebrate Davionne & Makayla and their incredible 6.03 CLASS Observation Score! 💙💛
But what exactly is a CLASS observation? 👀
CLASS stands for Classroom Assessment Scoring System. It is a tool used to look at the quality of teacher-child interactions in the classroom. Rather than simply looking at what is happening in the classroom, CLASS focuses on how teachers interact with and support children throughout the day. 🧠❤️
Observers look at things such as:
✨ How teachers build positive relationships with children
✨ How they support children’s emotional needs
✨ How they engage children in learning
✨ How they encourage children to think, communicate, and problem-solve
✨ How intentionally teachers create meaningful learning experiences
And that 6.03?! 🤩👏
CLASS scores are measured on a 1–7 scale, so a 6.03 represents a very strong level of teacher-child interaction and intentional teaching. It reflects the thought, preparation, consistency, and genuine care that Davionne & Makayla bring into their classroom every day. 🌟
A great CLASS score isn’t just a number — it’s evidence of the meaningful connections and learning experiences happening between teachers and children every day. 🥹💕
We are incredibly proud of you, Davionne & Makayla! Your hard work matters, your interactions matter, and the impact you make on our children matters. 💙💛
WAY TO GO, LADIES! 🎉 6.03! ⭐️ ... See MoreSee Less

🎉🌟 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO HANNAH & LORI! 🌟🎉
Today we are celebrating an incredible 6.42 CLASS Observation Score! 👏💙
But what does that number actually mean? 🤔
CLASS observations look at the quality of teacher-child interactions in the classroom — things like how teachers support children emotionally, engage them in learning, encourage thinking, ask meaningful questions, and create a positive learning environment. 🧠❤️
A 6.42 reflects an exceptionally strong level of classroom interaction and intentional teaching. It shows the dedication, preparation, and genuine love Hannah & Lori bring into their classroom every single day. 🥹👏
We are SO proud of these two! They continue to show what it looks like to create meaningful learning experiences and build strong relationships with our children. 💙🌈
