Childhood Magic in Downtown South Bend
Outdoor Spaces That Bring The “Wow” Factor
Your child gets outside every day to play in the fresh air. They climb, crawl, and jump from natural play structures and tend to a variety of gardens as they are surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.
A Trusted Program Sparks Their Academic Success
Teachers deliver the proven, play-based, and research-backed HighScope© curriculum to small classes for personalized learning. Your child explores literacy, math, science, and social studies with real-world applications to build crucial cognitive and critical thinking skills.
The Social-Emotional Support They Need As They Grow
Your child learns to communicate and manage their emotions, be kind, empathetic peers, and use appropriate classroom behaviors. Teachers use the gentle, effective Conscious Discipline® philosophy and HighScope© Conflict Resolution to guide these crucial skills.
Self-Care & Practical Skills Boost Their Independence
Tying shoes and tidying up toys, manipulating writing implements and tools like scissors, learning a daily routine, and following classroom directions are just some of the life skills your preschooler learns to build their confidence and independence.
Enrichments Boost Their Brain Power & Motor Skills
Enrichments like sign language, music, dance, and yoga are opportunities to self-express and explore new passions. Optional extras include Soccer Shots and The Drama Spot.
Healthy Meals & Snacks Keep Them Nourished
Tuition fees cover your child’s daily breakfast, lunch, and snacks, all prepared with love by dedicated kitchen staff, who take food sensitivities into account. Their delicious, healthy food keeps them fueled and energized for learning and fun.
In-House Field Trips & Visitors
From the symphony to the traveling zoo and so much more in between, your little one will enjoy on-site activities and adventures. Fun visitors like storybook authors, sports mascots, police officers, and first responders often make appearances throughout the year.
Security That You Can Depend On
Behind the restricted access doors of our sturdy building, your child learns and plays under the watchful eyes of CPR-certified teachers.
Support For You Completes The Home-School Connection
An open-door policy, daily communication via a handy app, monthly newsletters, parent-teacher conferences, and onsite speech and occupational therapy support your family and make you an active partner in your child’s care and education.
Hear What Parents Have To Say...
East Bank has been a part of our lives for over 10 years, it truly is a magical place. When I drop my daughter off it feels like she is with family all day. The HighScope curriculum makes learning fun for her while also setting her up to excel in elementary school and beyond. We are grateful that a place like this exists. Knowing your child is happy and thriving all day is a big relief as a parent.

We looked at so many childcare centers, and East Bank was the only one that made us feel at home as soon as we walked through the door. The teachers and staff know every child’s name - even the ones they haven’t taught yet! As an educator, I love the play-based curriculum, and I’m so grateful that my son is excited to go to school every day. He is known and loved at East Bank, and he is learning so much each day!

We are so glad EBLC was recommended to us and is now part of our lives! The teachers and staff are so welcoming every day and I am so grateful to have such good lines of communication with the team. Our girls just love it here, love all the teachers and I truly feel that their best interests and individual needs are put first. It’s so fun to hear what things they’re learning and what activities they get to do each day. We love EBLC!

We sent our first child (of four) to East Bank in 2017. Selecting child care is one of the hardest things to do in life. From day one, we have always felt safe and have had the utmost confidence in the loving and nurturing environment that our children receive here. And when it has come time for them to move on, we have found that each one has been exceptionally prepared by the High Scope Curriculum. We'd never recommend anywhere else.

We are thankful to EBLC for all that they do for our son. Teachers’ individualized attention, interactions, patience, planned activities and updates provided to us parents demonstrate their tireless efforts in ensuring the safety and happiness of our son, and our peace of mind. We also appreciate EBLC leaders’ communication to us of their future plans for any process improvements and plans of action. All this to say, we can see EBLC truly cares and are grateful for their passion and dedication everyday.

We couldn’t be happier sending our kids to EBLC. The teachers and staff are wonderful and create an environment that fosters creativity and teaches kindness. We would choose East Bank Learning Center every time and over again.
