About Us
Where every child is known, nurtured, and free to wonder.
Learning Age Daycare is built around calm routines, warm relationships, and intentional learning that pairs a trusted curriculum with a Reggio-inspired sense of wonder — for children 6 weeks to 12 years—so children feel safe and confident every day.

Warm by design. Calm by nature.
Our mission is to nurture the whole child — mind, heart, and body — in a warm, calm environment where every child feels safe, known, and free to wonder. By pairing an evidence-based curriculum with Reggio-inspired discovery, and partnering closely with families, we help children grow capable, curious, and confident — one meaningful day at a time.
Calm routines
Predictable days help children feel secure—and make mornings easier for parents.
Gentle guidance
We coach behavior with consistency and kindness, building confidence and self-control.
Family partnership
Clear communication and shared expectations support children across home and school.
We don’t measure growth by pressure

Every child is learning something important—trust, language, independence, empathy, focus.
We honor each stage as a Learning Age, and we keep the environment calm so learning can happen naturally.
We look for steady progress: a child who tries again, asks for help, uses words instead of tears, or joins the group with a little more confidence than yesterday.
When adults stay predictable and patient, children feel safe enough to explore. They take healthy risks, practice new skills, and recover from frustration without shame.
Our routines create space for that: clear expectations, gentle transitions, and a classroom rhythm that supports focus and curiosity.

Program Director
Beverly
Bev Yoakum serves as Director of Learning Age Daycare. She holds a Master's in Early Childhood Education Administration. Drawing on 25+ years in early childhood education, she worked to create a center embodying warmth, wonder, steady routines, and teachers who exceed required standards. She passionately supports making a beautiful, nurturing program accessible to every family. A grandmother herself, Bev leads with a simple conviction: childhood isn't preparation for life — it is life, and every child deserves to feel safe, known, and free to wonder.
Assistant program director
Sydney
Sydney Kitchin brings eight years in early childhood education to Learning Age, along with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Liberty University. Having served as a director, she knows firsthand how to lead a classroom, support teachers, and partner with families. As an Air Force wife and mother of two, Sydney understands exactly what military families are looking for: steadiness, trust, and a place that feels like home, and she brings that empathy to every family she welcomes.
Our Story
%20Large.jpeg)
Learning Age Daycare was founded on a simple conviction: a beautiful, thoughtfully designed place to learn and grow shouldn't be reserved for only some families. We built a center rich with the warmth, care, and materials of a high-end program and we made it accessible on purpose.
Unlike many premium centers, Learning Age welcomes families who receive child care assistance through the Department of Social Services, as well as military families using MCCYN (Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood). Families who qualify pay only their co-pay. We do not bill the difference back to cover any gap in cost. We do this because we believe every child deserves a warm, inspiring start, and because a classroom that brings together children from many backgrounds reflects, and strengthens, the wonderful community we're part of.
