About Us
Foundations Early Childhood Education is an educational based childcare center. The Maxfield family purchased the center in 2025. The new owner Amie helped the previous owner start Foundations from the ground up. She has worked in the childcare industry for 16 years and has enjoyed every moment she has spent watching children learn and grow. As long as children’s needs are met and they are shown love in every situation, they are capable of learning vast amounts at a young age.
Foundations Early Childhood education is a privately owned, family run business. We strive to create a “home” atmosphere for all children, families and employees. Even though children are taught skills that will prepare them for elementary school and the rest of their lives, each child and family is shown love and compassion.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to teach all children a love of learning at a young age. We believe that providing children with the skills they need to succeed happens at an early age. Not only do we strive to teach children academic skills at a young age, we strive to teach them social emotional skills. It is our purpose to instill a strong foundation of academic knowledge, self respect, the respect of others and a love of learning.
Our Philosophy
We believe that children learn through exploration and structured hands-on learning. It is the teacher’s job to offer opportunities for each child to learn. We believe that every child is able to succeed if they are taught a love of learning and developmentally appropriate academic and social skills. Teaching to the child, rather than the group, is key in laying the foundation to create successful, life-long learners.
