Purpose:
Learning Land is a state licensed ministry of First Free Will Baptist Church that reflects the church's concern for the religious education of children, 3 months through 5 years of age. During the first six years of life, children form their basic patterns for handling life. Our goal is to provide an educational program that nourishes the needs of the child and emphasizes growth in all areas- physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual- as a continuous, interrelated process.
Admission:
Our desire is to reach as many children in the community as we can until we reach state-imposed limits in each classroom. At that time, a waiting list will be established and vacancies filled from it.
Placement:
Children are placed in classes based on their age as of September 1st of the current school year. This is consistent with the Arkansas Public School Placement Regulations.
Learning Land currently operates the following rooms:
Bed Babies: 3 months to 12 months
Up to 10 children with up to 2 teachers present at all times.
One Year Olds: 12 months to 23 months
Up to 10 children with 2 teachers.

Hours of Operation:
Learning Land operates from 8:30 to 2:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, August through May. We follow the Russellville School District calendar and observe all of their school closing dates.
Fees:
There is a $ 30.00 non-refundable registration fee for each child who enrolls in Learning Land. Additional children in the same immediate family will be charged a discounted fee of $20.00. There is also a $20 supply fee ($6 for 9 weeks) for each child. Both the registration fee and supply fee are once-a-school year charge. The cost of the program is $17.00 per day for bed-babies, all other children are $16.00 ($17 for drop-ins).
Daily Routine:
Your child's day will include time in the classroom in learning centers (if applicable), group time, snack time, outdoor/gym play, story and music sessions, lunch, and a rest time. We cannot wait to introduce you to the best in Child Care.
