Summer Camp
Registration begins in April
- K – 12 Years Of Age
- Active Activities Daily
- Field Trips
Our Classroom
Each 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.
Is always active! From guest speakers coming into our schools to discuss cool and real life lessons, to taking weekly field trips and exploring our community – we do it all. Year after year, kids keep coming back to experience the fun and safe summer camp at Fundamentals!
Meals & Snacks
Continuing to reinforce table manners, independence, and good eating habits, we offer more freedom of choice during meal time at summer camp. Children who are with us all day enjoy daily, nutritious snacks and meals to include breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack.

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

🥹💛 This is what it’s all about! We are so thankful for the families who trust us with their little ones and are honored to be part of their journey! 🦉💙 #FundamentalsELC #25Years of Learning, Growing & BelongingHappy 25 Years!!! Fundamentals Early Learning Center - Central
We are beyond grateful for Teddy’s daycare and the incredible people who have been part of his journey! 🩵 Teddy started in the infant room and has grown through every classroom, all the way to Pre-K3. From patiently handling his frequent spit-ups as a baby and supporting my choice to provide breastmilk, to introducing his first solid foods, helping him potty train, and teaching him manners and independence, they have been there for so many important milestones.
As an educator of 11+ years myself, I know that the best educators do more than teach lessons; they help shape the entire child. They nurture confidence, kindness, responsibility, and independence, and that’s exactly what I love seeing at Teddy’s daycare.
Trusting others with your baby is a big deal, and knowing he is loved, supported, and growing into such a wonderful little person means everything to us. Thank you for being such a special part of his childhood! We are so thankful for each of you. 🫶🏻 ... See MoreSee Less

As we dig through 25 years of old photos and memories this month, we keep finding stories that remind us this has always been about so much more than childcare. This is one of them. ❤️
Years before Fundamentals opened its doors in Central, there was Child Pros—and Ms. Susan was one of the teachers who helped make it special.
Her first grandson, Zane, spent his early years there with her, eventually landing in Grandma's own Pre-K 4 class and graduating with her as his teacher.
But when Ms. Susan looks back, she remembers much more than that. She remembers teaching her coworkers' children, friendships that extended well beyond work, and watching her own family grow alongside the families she cared for every day.
She remembers the hard seasons, too. After the flood of 2016, she says going to work and being with those children helped her get through one of the toughest periods of her life.
That's something we're realizing over and over as we look back this month.
Twenty-five years sounds like a number until you start hearing the stories of the people who actually lived those years.
Different buildings. Different names. Different generations of children.
But so many lives intertwined along the way.
When Ms. Susan sent us these pictures and memories, she ended her message with three words:
“Precious, precious memories.”
That's exactly why we're sharing them. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
