A licensed, accredited childcare and early education program, Lincoln Learning Center is one of the few schools in Arizona to meet the nation's highest standards for child development and school readiness. In fact, Lincoln Learning Center has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children - Academy of Early Childhood Programs since 1993. The program has also been recognized as a First Things First Quality Site. This is due to the center's commitment to health and safety for children, including a full-time registered nurse on site, a part-time childcare health consultant and a locked, password-protected, inner security door that separates the front office from the rest of the center.
