GENERAL INFORMATION

The Wilma Valentine Creative Learning Center is a non-profit daycare center for children ages 3, 4, and 5. The center provides daycare services to all children with an emphasis on services to families whose children are experiencing developmental delays or have been diagnosed with handicapping conditions. The center provides opportunities for children to learn together in an integrated setting and is open year-round from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

 The daycare is located in the building across the drive from Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center. All children in the daycare center have the opportunity to attend a preschool class as part of their day, as mentor/typical preschoolers or preschoolers with special needs. In addition, the close proximity to the preschool provides the opportunity for the daycare staff to work closely with the Shelby Hills staff in providing a consistent program for children who are enrolled in both centers and who may be experiencing physical, mental, or behavioral challenges.
