Northern Lights Preschool & Child Care in Anchorage is leading the way in early childhood learning. In addition to creating a safe, nurturing atmosphere, this licensed daycare facility seeks to ensure all children build confidence and develop a love of learning. Their highly trained staff includes Certified Pre-K teachers who utilize the student-centered Eye Level Learning method to help students achieve success.

Eye Level Learning is an educational program that provides a framework for supplemental math and English tutoring. The name derives from their approach to meet students at "eye level" by tailoring curriculum to their individual strengths and learning styles. The NCTE/NCTM-aligned curriculum at Northern Lights Preschool & Child Care builds on the following principles:

• Diagnostic Assessment is the essential first step: A diagnostic test helps parents and teachers understand a child's unique educational needs and abilities, so an appropriate starting point can be determined.
• The Initial Starting Point provides a solid foundation: If a lesson is too difficult, students become discouraged; if it's too easy, they grow bored. By starting at a level that's tailored to their individual learning needs, students grow in self-confidence as they move on successfully to future levels.
• Self-Directed Learning empowers students: A self-directed learning method ensures students build independent learning skills as a Northern Lights teacher guides them in their individualized learning plan. As a result, students become adept at problem solving and critical thinking.
• Assessment is ongoing: The learning cycle continues with regular assessment by an instructor. Test results demonstrate whether a student has mastered the material. This guarantees students only move onto the next level when they are ready.
• Feedback keeps parents involved: Regular consultation between parents and Northern Lights' teachers is a key element to a child's success.
