Kelly and Phil Vannette launched KIDS FIRST Learning Place over 10 years ago with the Middleville location. We are proud to offer three locations to meet the early education and childcare needs of more families. Through quality enhanced learning centers, we offer our unique unified theme based curriculum for infants through school age children.

At KIDS FIRST Learning Place we believe that Early Childhood Education should be a partnership between home and school. Please feel free to contact us to set up a time when you can tour our facility and meet our staff. We look forward to meeting your family and joining you on this journey.


Our Mission
To provide an enriched, educational environment while maintaining a warm, nurturing atmosphere.


Our Philosophy
KIDS FIRST Learning Place believes a challenging, yet nurturing environment is the best for children to fully develop. Young children learn best through play and play-oriented instruction. We offer this in a unified curriculum which is key as it builds on early learning through consistency and hands-on experiences.
