About IXL
Birmingham

IXL Learning Center is a fully Licensed and state inspected Childcare Center. We offer full and part time, year round care and education for infants from six weeks to school age children. Our Hamburg IXL location was established in May of 2001 and has been operating with our current owner since 2003. We then expanded to include our Howell location established in 2008, and our Birmingham location in 2010.

Programs

We provide stimulating programs which encourage learning through experience. Children are encouraged to explore their creativity, independence, problem solving skills, muscle development and self help skills. Lessons are planned based on weekly thematic units, meeting the state preschool curriculum standards. Basic Spanish and Sign language are integrated into these lesson plans. Assessments are given periodically to track a child’s growth, and portfolios are kept as well. Each class attends specials once a week including music, library and physical education.

Staff

Our experienced and loving staff are professionally trained and are required to continue their education in childcare areas. We have certified elementary teachers in our Preschool andPre-K classrooms. All teachers are CPR, first aid and blood bourn pathogen trained. We also require a criminal background check on each employee. Our staff is very committed to our families and the center as a whole, creating a very low employee turnover rate.
