Welcome to McCool Early Learners

We understand that childcare is a big financial commitment, and we’ve been in your shoes. That’s why we offer a sliding fee scale for full-time families to help make childcare more affordable and flexible care options for part-time families to fit your budget. We know we may not be the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay! It’s important to find the childcare center that best meets your needs. The only way to know for sure is to schedule a tour, meet our team, and see how we can support your family. We just ask for open communication—by being honest about your needs, we can work together to ensure you can afford quality care without sacrificing what matters most.
