      Our  approach to early childhood education is to give your child an opportunity to  develop an enjoyable attitude toward learning and growing.  We provide a happy, loving and creative  environment for your child through exciting and varied learning  opportunities.  Our atmosphere is one of  warmth and relaxation.  We invite  visitations and encourage parent conferences and interaction.  We believe our school is a positive addition  to your child’s home life.  We strive to  maintain high standards through concern for each child’s individual  development.  
      High Desert Learning Center is licensed by Children’s Services Division.  Each year, a thorough inspection of the  school and play ground will be conducted by the State of Oregon Children’s Services  Division office, the Deschutes County Health Department and the Fire  Marshall’s office.  In addition, there  are frequent drop-in inspections during the year.   
         
        At  High Desert Learning Center it is our goal to operate the center to meet or  exceed these standards.  We believe that  licensing standards are very important for the welfare and best interests of  all children. Our center is also equipted with a secured, key-pad entry system.
