Our Philosophy

At A Star Is Rising Early Learning Center, we believe in nurturing the whole child. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to cultivate creativity, emotional intelligence, intellectual curiosity, physical development, and social growth. Our goal is to foster competency, confidence, and a love for learning in every child.

While our primary focus is on the children, we recognize the importance of family involvement and support in shaping their development. Together, we create a strong foundation for lifelong success.

Our Goals

We strive to empower each child to:

• Develop confidence and competence in their abilities.

• Become self-motivated, creative, and independent learners.

• Build a strong foundation for future academic success.

• Cultivate a lifelong love for learning and the skills to continue learning independently.

• Develop self-discipline, responsibility, and a strong sense of right and wrong.

• Foster a positive self-image and sense of self-worth.

• Learn to collaborate and communicate effectively with peers and adults.

• Reach their fullest potential in emotional, intellectual, physical, and social growth.

More Than Just a Daycare

The term "daycare” is often misunderstood as simple babysitting—but at A Star Is Rising, we are so much more!

We take a transformative approach to early childhood education, shaping young minds through a purposeful and engaging curriculum that supports every aspect of development. By embracing each moment as a learning opportunity, we unlock each child’s academic potential and social-emotional growth.

Our family-friendly center provides a professional yet nurturing, home-away-from-home environment where your child will feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore and grow.
