About Let’s Learn Early Childhood Center in Bradenton, FL
We are a Frog Street Curriculum-based early childcare center in Bradenton. We care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old
(including part-time childcare for ages 3 and up) and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development so they’re prepared for early entry into kindergarten and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on respect, integrity, compassion, and collaboration. We are not just babysitters - we truly care about each child’s development! We aim for excellence in teaching and care, instilling the importance of early educational concepts, social and emotional development, and engaging the body and mind.
We have made it our mission to provide high-quality, affordable childcare to give parents peace of mind so they can be assured their child is in safe hands while they support their families.
Our motto is “Safety first, then we teach.” Each child deserves to thrive in a safe, informative space where their unique skills and needs are recognized and met.
Overall, we put the fun in fun-damentals! This period in each child’s life is magical as they grow and learn something new every single day. More than providing a service, we aim to provide a strong foundation for each child to succeed inside and outside of the classroom.
Who We Are
Let’s Learn Early Childhood Center got its start in Bradenton in 2016 by Keisha Small, our owner. We decided to do things a bit differently at Let’s Learn! by creating a space that fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment where children from 6 weeks to 12 years old can explore the world around them.
Keisha caught the teaching bug when she had her first son and found joy in spending each, day teaching him something new! Once it was time for her to go back to work, her aunt gave her the peace of mind to be away from her young son by offering to care for him while Keisha was away at work. Thanks to this compassionate and caring support, Keisha was able to obtain her early childhood education degree and go to work, knowing her son was in safe hands.
Keisha wanted to give that sense of security and support to other parents and carers, and so she founded Let’s Learn Early Childhood Center to make sure you don’t have to worry about your child’s well-being or development while you work!
We believe our innovative and caring approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery, as well as emotional intelligence, and building friendships.

Our Rooms
Each classroom is specially designed and equipped to provide developmentally appropriate teaching and play for each young learner who joins us at Let’s Learn!
Infants/Young Ones
(0 - 1 years)
Our infant program prioritizes your child’s safety, security, development, and happiness. Our infant room is a nurturing classroom environment with educational toys, stimulating activities, and immersive learning experiences. We ensure each infant receives well-rounded experiences that support all areas of development while encouraging the exploration of everyday objects during indoor and outdoor play.
Older Ones/Young Twos
(1 – 2 years)
Our young “movers” are able to channel their energy and excitement into positive learning experiences. With plenty of room to explore and discover in our classroom, our teachers help guide each child toward developing new physical skills and emerging new milestones through purposely planned active learning experiences.
Older Twos/Young Threes
(2 - 3 years)
Our enthusiastic twos and threes are encouraged to learn and grow while building their independence and confidence. Our teachers guide children through interactive, hands-on learning experiences in a tactile environment with practical, everyday objects such as shaving cream, paint, textured toys, and instruments.
Older Threes and Up - Preschoolers
(3 years and older)
This interactive classroom is a mix of preschoolers and VPK students. Preschoolers benefit from sharing VPK induction earlier than most children. Our teachers guide children as they work in groups (helping to foster cooperation, socialization, and communication), follow instructions, establish routines, and develop foundational learning skills for independent learning. Children in this classroom take the journey to school readiness together as they learn how to problem-solve, develop social skills, and build collaborative skills.
Outdoor Space
Our preschool curriculum includes outdoor components so all young learners can grow their bodies as well as their minds. We encourage all children to nurture their imagination, forge friendships, and engage in purposeful play all while they have fun outdoors!
We also prepare and provide plenty of water activities outdoors to keep cool in the warmer weather such as playing with water tables and enjoying sprinklers!
Activities
Here is just a small selection of the pre-planned and specially designed activities we offer:

Merging Teaching and Childcare

We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our center.
By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly. We also focus on the emotional and social aspects of starting their learning journey, all while building their academic skills and confidence!

Ms. Gabriela
My name is Gabriela Loaisiga, and it’s my first time working with children and I love how I learn as much from them as they do from me! I love spending time with children while we learn new things, new words in Spanish and English, and I love hearing them speak both languages at such a young age. I strongly believe that “It doesn’t matter how slowly a child learns, it matters that we don’t stop supporting them so that they continue learning.”
