Open Space Early Learning Center is a family owned center founded in 2019 with a passion for providing high quality education and care for young children. The first five years of a child’s life are the most crucial in development and we strive to support every child through this time by giving them the tools and foundation that they need in order to thrive and be successful later in life.

Open Space is a program that is a welcoming space for all families, children, professionals and contributors. We stand firm in our philosophy and strive to provide high quality early education and care that benefit the development of the whole child.
At Open Space we value the differences that each family & child bring into our program. This is why each day is a new experience for our Open Space Family. Each and every day, we strive to meet the individual needs and provide a second home to everyone who walks in our door.
