Grant Gordon (formerly Lee) Learning Center is Milwaukee Public School’s newest premier early childhood site serving three year old students from the Milwaukee community. Students are provided with a nurturing environment with an emphasis on the five domains of learning: health and physical development, social and emotional development, language development and communication, approaches to learning, and cognition and general knowledge. This is done through a strong emphasis on allowing children to learn at their individual rate of development through active learning experiences.
Grant Gordon Learning Center staff provides children with opportunities to explore, and apply new skills by child initiated activities and through interactions with peers, adults, and materials. Students try new foods as meals are served family style in the classroom and follow hand washing and tooth brushing routines daily. Families are engaged as equal partners which allows them to build strong relationships with staff and the school community to support well-being and ongoing learning development for both parents and children.
