Curriculum
Our curriculum emphasizes music and rhythm, arts and crafts, memory games, small muscle development and age-appropriate social and self-help skills. Each week has a different theme that is promoted in the classrooms. We believe that by using the AR Human Services Standards as our guide, we will be integrated with high-quality assessment, professional development, and family connection resources to create a well-rounded program that addresses the needs of early childhood education professionals, children, and their families. Ark of Safety will provide a loving, safe, and secure atmosphere in which each child has an opportunity to develop emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually.

Mission
The mission of Ark of Safety is to provide safe, affordable, high quality child care for the students and the community. IN doing so, we support families in their efforts to reach their goals. Ark of Safety Learning Center provides a cognitively based program for children ages six weeks to twelve years. We provide a home like environment where children are encouraged to develop at their own pace. The Ark of Safety staff is committed to the families we serve, providing support and encouragement.
Our Staff
Our qualified staff members are the most essential element in our quality childcare program. Teachers must possess a good mix of theory and practice maintaining a nurturing setting while developing a creative educational program. In addition to their educational training, our staff combines on the-job experience with a genuine passion for what they do. Each classroom uses a team teaching approach. Each team includes full-time teachers who have a two or four year degree in early childhood education (or a related field) and practical experience ranging from student teaching, to years of experience in the child care field beyond their degree.
