If we do not recognize the person coming for your child, the staff will ask for identification after checking your authorization for release.

Partners in Learning is proud to partner with Bailee’s Plate for our hot lunch program. Bailee’s Plate crafts fun and healthy lunches for toddlers, preschoolers, and grade school children using a combination of fresh, all natural, and organic ingredients. Their meals are free from added preservatives and unhealthy processed sugars, and their ever-changing menu features a wide variety of dishes inspired by cultures from around the world.
At Bailee’s Plate, children’s health and nutrition are of the utmost importance. The company was founded on the belief that consciously planned, well-balanced meals help children develop healthy, long-lasting eating habits and support optimal growth and development. Through this partnership, we ensure that our students receive nutritious, thoughtfully prepared meals that fuel their learning and playing each day.
At Partners In learning, we implement inclusion as part of our daily curriculum. This means that no children are discriminated against no matter what their needs might be. We believe that all children should be given optimal consideration as unique individuals. By communicating with the family, the extended family, and additional resources, we design programs to accommodate the child’s specific needs. Our aim is that each child acquires a positive self-image and that a child who is treated with respect will learn to treat others with respect in return.
Some things that Partners In Learning will be helping to implement in the daily lives of these children will be sitting for a designated amount of time, communicating with peers and adults, selecting activities on their own, taking turns, responding to questions and demands, making choices, requesting things, and increasing their attention spans. At Partners In Learning, we feel that every child should receive the opportunity to be part of a “natural” school environment and all it has to offer. We will do everything to encourage positive social skills and help develop a sense of self-confidence.
Each class celebrates the joys of music through a variety of fun and inviting activities.
Playing with instruments, dancing and singing are important experiences for young children and here at Partners in Learning children learn while they have fun.
Cooking is a fun and well-loved part of our school’s curriculum. Children are given the opportunity to express themselves through carefully planned cooking experiences. Parents are delighted in the many delicious foods their children participate in preparing. With an emphasis on healthy eating, the teachers at PIL introduce good eating habits to our children at a very early age.
The children and staff at PIL are very proud of our new Outdoor Garden. Great care is taken, and excited anticipation always evident with each classroom’s section in the Outdoor Garden. Learning about foods and how they grow is an important lesson in each classroom, but actually watching the progress of food growing and then delighting in the harvest is a priceless experience. We love our new garden.
