About Us
14 Years of Experience.
Jellybean Learning Center is owned and operated by Meagan Greenwood. Jellybean is based on sound principles of child development. Our goals are to give children a sense of self-worth by helping them develop at their own individual pace while learning basic skills. We want the children to feel confident and secure enough to explore and grow in a stimulating educational and social environment. We are committed to promoting and supporting all aspects of a child’s growth in an atmosphere of respect. Your child is an individual who is an integral member of a group, and who’s uniqueness is acknowledged and appreciated by that group. Children participate in a variety of individual and group activities designed to develop language and reading readiness skills enhancing physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth, skills and attitudes which will increase their ability to succeed in school.
