Your baby’s brain is developing at an amazing rate, so our infant nursery is all about brain development. In our infant program, we teach tummy time for social bonding and physical development and baby sign language to help your child communicate their needs. Your primary caregiver will help your baby progress through important developmental milestones while working closely with you to provide consistency with feeding, playing and sleeping schedules.

Our Programs
Infant Childcare
Toddler Childcare
Our toddler program is designed to meet your toddler’s physical and emotional needs, while helping them adjust to a more formal learning environment. When your child shows they are developmentally ready to start potty-training, your teacher will partner with you to create consistency from school to home.
Step-Up Early Preschool
Our early preschool program is designed to assist during this important transition from toddlerhood to preschool! Our teachers provide a more structured environment that responds to your child’s natural curiosity and offers room for exploration, learning and fun.
Preschool Program
Our preschool curriculum is focused on providing your child with a solid foundation in the skills needed for Kindergarten and beyond. The preschool years are a time of great creativity and social growth. Our teachers focus on introducing structure and routine, while facilitating fun activities that develop your child’s language and literacy, math, science, creativity, Spanish and social skills.
Pre-K Program
Our Pre-Kindergarten program prepares your child for the adventures of kindergarten. With a careful balance of freedom and instruction, your child will participate in interesting learning activities in language, math, science, social studies, Spanish, music and art, with a special emphasis on STEAM. Special focus is also given to building your child’s social and emotional development, language and literacy, executive function and creativity.
School-Age Program
Our school-age program offers a safe, fun and supervised environment to start and end the school day. Your child will participate in fun, interactive learning experiences, receive homework assistance from teachers, spend time with friends, and exert some energy on the playground! Transportation to and from local elementary schools is provided. Fresh breakfast is served in our before-school program with an afternoon snack served in our after-school program.
Summer Camp
Extreme STEAM Summer Camp at Foundations is fun, innovative and deceivingly educational! Extreme STEAM is a STEAM-infused summer camp. Each week of camp features a new theme packed with fun and educational STEAM projects and related field trips (if circumstances allow).
Meet our Director
Tamara Williams
Center Director
Hello, my name is Tamara Williams Conrad. I have worked in the early childhood field for 25 years, 20 of which have been with the company. I have my associate degree in early childhood education. I have worked in this field as a teacher, a nutritionist, an assistant director, and director.Â
I began my career working in a small private childcare setting, and from there I began to pursue my degree in Early Childhood. Working with children is my passion. I enjoy the hugs and the smiles on their faces that I see daily.
I enjoy spending time with my husband, my daughter, and my son. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, shopping, attending church, and exploring new things on my Cricut.
Reviews
My daughter is learning and developing more and more each day. I can come to work with confidence that my daughter is safe and well taken care of each day. As a single mom it is very important to me to have reliable and safe childcare. Now that my daughter is here, I am able to work with a peace of mind.

My husband and I are very pleased with the care our son receives at Foundations. He is thriving there, and we love to see how excited he is to see his teachers and buddies each day. It is such a comforting feeling each day to know that your child is truly cared for, and that is what we have found at Foundations.

I cannot say enough how much my family loves and trusts Foundations Early Learning Center. As a working mom, it's hard to be apart from my children, but my kids simply love it there. The older one especially runs to his classroom in excitement each day, and I feel 100% confident they are receiving the same level of love and care they get at home. We are so thankful to the FELC family.
