The Learning Center has options when it comes to caring for our youngest learners. Infants can begin in our classrooms at 6-weeks of age.
Our infant classrooms help to develop motor skills, muscle-building, and social skills in a small setting. Learning through play is done at every opportunity and the infants receive the nurturing they need to begin a lifetime of learning. Parents can begin the enrollment process before the child is born by contacting Nicole Recker at 610-438-9437.
The Infant Toddler Contracted Slots (ITCS) program is a high-quality, state-funded program that is free to income-eligible families for infants up to age 3. Children learn in a caring and engaging environment with individualized lesson plans for the whole child. Families must be income-eligible and have to apply to the Child Care Works program. Once approved by Child Care Works, families can apply for the program at Third Street Alliance.
Families remain eligible for this program while the child is under three years old. Families re-apply for the Child Care Works program 6 months before the child’s 3rd birthday. At that time, families can choose to continue with the CCW funding, switch to the free Pre-K Counts program once they are age-eligible, or move to private pay if the household income has increased above the threshold.
