About Us
A Place to Grow, Learn, and Belong
A Place to Grow, Learn, and Belong
Polaris Learning Center is built around a simple belief: that children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and excited to explore the world around them. With campuses in Eagle, Meridian, and Nampa, Idaho, we care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old with programs that grow alongside them.
What We Believe
We believe in keeping things simple, calm, and meaningful. Our classrooms are nurturing, our teachers are thoughtful, and our programs are designed to support the whole child—not just academically, but socially and emotionally, too.
We use the Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies, which blends hands-on play with purposeful learning. Children explore reading, math, science, art, and more through age-appropriate activities that feel natural and fun.
Our Approach
We follow the Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies, a hands-on approach to early childhood learning that supports the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. Each classroom experience is designed around:
- Play-based learning
- Daily structure and routines
- Age-appropriate themes
- Group and individual activities
- Encouragement of self-help skills
- Social-emotional development
