School Age
Hello, my name is Mr. Brad and I am the director, the lead teacher in the School Age classroom and the lead summer camp counselor. I also teach the Christian Curriculum for the Pre-Kindergarten and School Age classrooms. I have worked at The Learning Garden for the last 19 years. My mission is to teach God's Word to the children of Medina and to help start them on their life long relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
School Age
Kindergarten to 12 years
Our mission for our school age students is to provide an environment that will help them to grow spiritually, strengthen physically and advance mentally. We are very blessed to be able to offer our 6,000 sq. ft. gym as a classroom for our before and after school care program that allows us to succeed in our mission. What better way to start the day, then to spend time each morning in God's word and getting exercise through group games and free play in our spacious gym before going to school. We also provide a nutritious breakfast each morning before transporting the children to their school. We are able to bus children to the following elementary schools: H. G. Blake, Ralph E. Waite, Ella Canavan and Heritage.
At the end of the school day, we will bring the children back to The Learning Garden where they are given a snack and time for free play. We then end the day with Christian curriculum and group games until it is time for departure. We also, provide full day care for School Agers during school holidays/Christmas break/spring break/calamity days.
