Heritage Learning Center Director Vickie Whitley has 20 years of experience as a Director of Early Childhood programs.
After a year-long, pandemic-induced pause, Heritage Learning Center, an award-winning preschool in Annapolis, will accept applications in December 2021 for admission for the upcoming 2022-23 school year for children ages 2, 3, and 4.
Since 1985, Heritage Learning Center has worked with preschool children from throughout the area to prepare them for entry into kindergarten in a bustling center tucked just off Forest Drive on the Heritage Baptist Church campus.
But, in 2020, like many other schools Heritage Learning Center paused in-person learning and finished the school year virtually. Following that, leadership made the difficult decision not to reopen the program for the next school year, in favor of taking time to update the physical facility and restructure the program.
"It has been a monumental year for Heritage Learning Center, even though we haven't been open for students," said Vickie Whitley, Preschool Director. "We have made upgrades to the facility, including the all-important air filtration system to ensure the safest environment possible for our students and staff. We have updated our classrooms and curriculum, meeting the Maryland Department of Education Standards for Early Learning. So many wonderful things are ahead and we are excited to welcome families back for the upcoming year."
Facility improvements include Ion Hepa air filtration system in all areas; bright new energy-saving lighting; new efficient heating system; new roof; and freshly painted and updated classrooms.
Beginning December 1, 2021, Heritage Learning Center will accept applications for admission for the 2022-23 school year. Classes will be open for children ages 2, 3, and 4, with opportunities for before school care (8-9am), lunch bunch (noon-1pm), extended care (3-5pm), and drop-in care.
