Bringing a bigger world into the classroom
Whether it’s a daily after-school program or a full-time summer program, we emphasize a variety of activities to help kids grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. We encourage a blend of group play, collaboration, and individual study. We value face-to-face interaction and encourage kids’ ability to focus, which means we incorporate less screen time and more “in-the-moment” time. And underlying everything we do is a sense of community involvement, good citizenship, and environmental stewardship.
- We develop personal relationship with kids’ school teachers and work closely with them to align our activities and studies with theirs
- We further the classroom experience with lots of activity, balancing on-site activities with off-site adventures
- Daily activities can include:
- Science projects
- Art and literature
- Field trips to museums and parks
- Sports activities
- Skating
- Bowling
- Story time
- Read-a-thons
- Water play
- Community service
- Communication and social skills development
- We serve healthy snacks and meals throughout the day
- We continually focus on understanding and preventing bullying, peer pressure, and negative social behaviors—kindness always wins

Miss Annie
Annie has been working in child care for 3 years, two of them being at Bennion Learning Center. She works in our school age classroom and finds it to be rewarding, creative and fun. She believes all children are unique and must have a stimulating, educational environment where they can grow mentally, socially and emotionally.
Miss Kayleigh
Kayleigh has been part of Bennion Learning as a student and now as a caregiver. She will be graduating High School this year. Kayleigh works as a floater, keeping the center clean, before being in the school age classroom. She loves being a part of a loving, stable place for children.
My kids have been going to Bennion Learning Center for over 3 years now and we love it! My oldest went to their kindergarten program and my youngest started as a newborn here. We love the staff and better yet, our kids love coming to play and learn. I can drop off my kids and feel at ease knowing they are well taken care of and having a blast with their teachers. My kids continue to learning amazing social, language, and academic skills since coming here!
Jessica, BLC mom
Today after lunch we went to the Red Butte gardens and tried counting the butterflies in the butterfly garden. Did you know they’re attracted to phlox? I thought it was spelled F-L-O-X but it starts with a P-H. Isn’t that funny? Then we went for a walk up the hill and learned that Utah is in a desert and that’s why we need to conserve water, so I’m going to start turning off the faucet while I brush my teeth. That’s one of the ideas the teacher had.
Emma, Age 7What can we do for your child?
We’d love to hear from you—don’t be shy. We can set up a time for you to visit our school and see what it’s all about.
