Our Mission
Cyber Ed Learning Centers are award winning, state licensed, child care facilities driven towards providing structured enrichment opportunities
for children in pre-school and after-school settings. Our programs are
designed to provide extra curricular activities that aid children in developing
an interest in technology at their own pace and in keeping with their
individual needs. We recognize the uniqueness of each child and strive
to provide a positive and safe environment for each child’s optimum
growth experience.
Our Vision
Cyber Ed’s vision is for all children, families and staff to be
valued for their abilities, dreams, perspectives, curiosity, knowledge
and traditions.
Our Staff
Cyber Ed takes pride in our selection of staff for our facilities. A core
group of teachers has been carefully hand selected by their qualifications
and experience in child development. The facility’s Director leads
these teachers. Qualified Teachers’ Assistants as well as an Office
Manager also support the core group. A ratio of at least 9:1 for pre-school
and 10:1 for after-school is maintained at all times during hours of operation.
Our
Philosophy
The philosophy of the Cyber Ed concept is simple yet very complex. Children
need positive stimulation to expand their minds and open themselves up
to be receptive and hungry for learning and knowledge. Cyber Ed is more
of a philosophy about learning, a free spirit with limitless avenues for
learning and exploring, rather than a concrete curriculum.
The centers, located in Moore County, North Carolina, are just the tip of the iceberg of possibilities dreamed for Cyber Ed. Time, money and access to resources are the only obstacles standing in Cyber Ed’s way of enriching the lives of every child in the world.
Cyber Ed is a role model for children who helps them realize that learning
can be, and is supposed to be, fun. The school itself is not just a daycare
center, but a magical world that helps kids grow and develop into creative,
well-adjusted, and social little people with a new found love for learning.
No other daycare center sparks the imagination quite like Cyber Ed. Just
walking in the door sweeps you off on a new adventure and to fun, new
places. Music, art, computers and pretend play platforms all add to the
experience.
It goes without saying that Cyber Ed strives for excellency in learning,
but we want to take that concept further and strive for fun in learning.
Children are expected to have their thinking caps on all day while in
school. But during our programs, we want them to have their creative hats
on as well. Through being creative, they gain excitement towards learning.
At Cyber Ed, children can go at their own pace. If they’ve had a
stressful school day, they can relax on a bean bag and watch a video or
an educational program on TV to unwind. If they have lots of homework
to do, they can retreat to our homework lab and quietly work without distractions
but also with assistance from one of our teachers, if needed. Perhaps
they just want to play. We have lots of toys that will spark their imagination.
And let’s not forget our fleet of computers. Each one is loaded
with kid friendly software designed to help them learn computer skills
all while having fun!
Our programs provide the essential social environments that that children
need to develop healthy relationships with other children as well as adults.
They learn respect for their peers and their peer’s feelings all
while learning to respect adults other than their parents. For the pre-schoolers
this helps them prepare for the social settings they will encounter when
they start school. And for the after-school children, our program provides
the essential skills needed for the next level of their education.
Even though we target a fun and games atmosphere, the children are also
subjected to a structured routine in our programs. We provide "free
time" during which the children can choose their activity but we
also provide structured time where the children are expected to participate
in group activities such as crafts and of course, the dreaded clean up
time. Children need a sense of order and although they may act like they
don’t want to participate in clean up, they actually appreciate
the order and consistency it provides them.
