Foundations Early Learning Center

Guthrie, in partnership with U-GRO Learning Centres and Discover the World Children’s Center, will open a new childcare option in Sayre in August 2021. Foundations Early Childhood Learning Center is being constructed at 1000 North Elmer Avenue, across from the Guthrie Pediatrics Center.

By partnering with local and regional experts, the new center will provide not only an exceptional early childhood experience, but a foundation for success that will carry children through their K-12 years.

Curriculum Highlights:
Blended Model® curriculum combines the best of a structured, age-appropriate program with self-direction, exploration and play—an approach that ensures a child exceeds the developmental benchmarks that are essential for future success in kindergarten and in life. Child-led discovery activities tap their interest through use of weekly themes and hands-on experiences. Aspires to have all students who have been in the preschool program for at least 12 months exceed NYS and PA Kindergarten Readiness Standards as assessed by the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA).
