Founded in 1988, East Bank Daycare was a warm, welcoming place for children whose parents primarily worked at the nearby Madison Center and Hospital. Leslie Kleppe became the Director in 2006 and immediately led the center towards accreditation with the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) by improving operations, increasing enrollment, and setting higher standards for care and academics.
Leslie believed strongly in promoting early childhood education and providing comprehensive, authentic care for all little learners in a place where “every child has a voice.” East Bank Daycare became East Bank Learning Center in 2008 to reinforce this philosophy and celebrate accreditation from NAEYC.
Today, our entire Leadership Team remains committed to our children, families, and the professionalism of early childhood education. Our diverse staff has earned a wide range of formal education credentials along with modern training certifications including HighScope© and Conscious Discipline®.
East Bank Learning Center is recognized as a premier provider by exceeding licensing and accreditation standards while delivering high-quality care for local families. Our core values of excellence, trust, integrity, curiosity, and community help us all create a special learning environment that provides a “childhood like no other…”
Proudly accredited by NAEYC for providing exceptional care and recognized as one of the first centers to earn Level 4 from Indiana Paths to Quality.
