Our Mission

The mission of Scribbles Learning Center is to create a stimulating and nurturing environment where children of all abilities, regardless of socio-economic or cultural background, can grow and learn together in acceptance of one another. This mission is carried out daily by highly trained staff, low teacher/child ratios, specialized curriculum, and contracted therapy services. At Scribbles Learning Center, we value the importance of character, commitment to the family, commitment to the community, respect for the individual, and celebrating our differences.

Each day with us will be a chance for your child to grow socially, cognitively, emotionally, and physically. As early as infancy, your child will be provided with learning opportunities adapted to fit his or her age, developmental stage, and learning style. Full-day, year-round care and all-day preschool in one location makes it possible for you to provide your child with the care and education that will help them become happy, healthy lifelong learners.

Our Philosophy at Scribbles Learning Center

At Scribbles Learning Center, we believe childhood is not a race to the finish line - it's a journey filled with curiosity, discovery, and joy. Our philosophy is simple: play is the work of children. Through play, little learners build the foundation for academic success, social confidence, and lifelong love of learning.

Why Play Matters Most

Play isn't "just fun" - it's how children make sense of the world. When children pretend, build, explore, and create, they're practicing the very skills they'll need for school and beyond.

At Scribbles, play is at the center of every day:

  • Blocks and puzzles spark problem-solving and early math.

  • Dramatic play builds imagination, language, and social skills.

  • Outdoor adventures strengthen bodies and connect children with nature.

  • Music, art, and movement nurture creativity, rhythm, and expression.

Through play, children aren't just busy - they're building brains, confidence, and friendships.

Social-Emotional Growth Comes First

Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Scribbles teachers create nurturing classrooms where:

  • Feelings are named, respected, and guided.

  • Friendships blossom through sharing, turn-taking, and teamwork.

  • Independence grows as children make choices and try new things.

We see social-emotional learning (SEL) as the heart of kindergarten readiness. When children know how to manage emotions, solve problems, and connect with others, academic learning follows naturally.

Experience Curriculum: Guided Play with Purpose

We proudly use the Experience Curriculum, a nationally recognized play-based program that blends fun with intentional learning. Each month brings a new theme, full of engaging activities in literacy, math, science, and art - all delivered through hands-on exploration.

This curriculum supports our philosophy by:

  • Encouraging curiosity and critical thinking.

  • Allowing children to learn at their own pace.

  • Connecting classroom learning to real-world experiences.

Families as Partners

Our philosophy extends beyond the classroom - we believe families are children's first teachers. At Scribbles, parents are partners in learning. We share updates daily through Brightwheel, host family events, and welcome parent input every step of the way.

When families and teachers work together, children thrive.

The Scribbles Difference

Our play-based philosophy ensures that every child who enters Scribbles leaves with:

  • A strong foundation in social-emotional skills.

  • Confidence to explore, ask questions, and take risks.

  • A love of learning that prepares them not just for kindergarten - but for life.

Because at Scribbles, play today builds success tomorrow.

Who we are

Scribbles Learning Center is a privately owned early childhood program dedicated to providing a high-quality educational experience for children from infancy through preschool. Located in East Wareham, MA, our mission is to create a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our foundation is built on experience, dedication, and innovation. Our founder and lead educator brings over 20 years of hands-on experience as a kindergarten teacher, deeply understanding the developmental needs and learning styles of young children. This extensive background shapes everything we do, ensuring that each child receives nurturing guidance tailored to support their growth, curiosity, and love of learning.

My teaching journey began in Easton, MA, where I completed my student teaching and then spent two decades growing alongside the community as a dedicated educator. Starting as a student teacher and eventually running my own classroom in the same district gave me a unique perspective on the importance of consistency, trust, and building strong relationships with both students and families. This long-standing connection to the community fuels my passion to create a childcare environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired.

What truly sets Scribbles Learning Center apart is our commitment to integrating the latest technology with proven educational practices. We proudly use the Experience Curriculum, a dynamic and research-based program that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and social-emotional development in a structured yet engaging way. This curriculum empowers our educators to deliver personalized learning experiences that meet each child where they are.

Communication is key in building strong partnerships with families. That's why we utilize Brightwheel's communication tools-a seamless platform that keeps parents connected every day. Through Brightwheel, parents can easily track their child's meals, naps, activities, and milestones, as well as receive photos, videos, and updates directly from their child's teachers. This level of transparency and engagement ensures that families feel involved and informed, making Scribbles Learning Center more than just a daycare-it's a community dedicated to early childhood excellence.

PARENT COMMUNICATION

We believe that the quality of early childhood development thrives on a strong connection between parents and their care providers. To keep parents engaged in their child's daily learning and care, we use Brightwheel software. This platform allows:

  • Teachers to record meals, naps, and activities with ease.

  • Teachers to share photos, videos, and notes directly with parents in real time.

  • Teachers to submit lesson plans up to 4 weeks in advance for parents to review.

  • Parents to notify teachers if their child will be absent due to illness or vacation.

Brightwheel helps us keep you connected to your child's day, every day.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES

At Scribbles Learning Center, we are dedicated to helping each child reach their fullest potential. To support this goal, we hold formal parent-teacher conferences throughout the year. These meetings offer parents a comprehensive understanding of our curriculum standards and how specific goals and objectives are designed to promote their child’'s development.
