About This Role
The Learning Curve Daycare Center is a full day licensed Early Childhood center in the greater New Haven area for children 6 weeks to 10 years old. The Learning Curve Daycare maintains satisfied and talented teaching staff. We know children, staff and families, thrive in a stimulating and nurturing environment.
