Welcome to the Carrot Patch!
Suzanne Miller and Nicole Miller Stevens are a mother-daughter team who opened the Carrot Patch Early Learning Center in 2005 to bring the best possible early childhood experience to area families. We are now delighted to offer families a choice of two top-notch, yet unpretentious early learning centers where children thrive in a safe, fun, nurturing and creative environment year-round. Children, parents, and staff find a sense of community, and our passion for education and love for children informs every detail and every decision we make. We are lucky to enjoy the warm, caring, and steady leadership of Director Lori Callahan, who has been an integral part of the Carrot Patch for over a decade. Lori holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in education, and taught for many years before earning her early childhood education director's credential. She considers the Carrot Patch community a second family, and the love and dedication she brings makes every day a special one for each person she touches. * * * * NOTICE: UNANTICIPATED OPENING! We currently have an opening in our Toddler classroom. This space won't last long, so contact our Director now! * * * * WE ARE OPEN AND GOING STRONG! With a focus on maintaining a safe and healthy school, we have incorporated CDC and OEC best practices. And as a nature and outdoor-focused program, we are able to spend much of our time out where the air is clean and virus-free! Limited spaces are still available for the 2024-2025 academic year programs. Waitlist registration is available. Call or email to learn more or to arrange an individual after-hours tour. |
