About Us

History of abacus learning center

Abacus Learning Center opened in September of 1994 by co-owners Sharon Jacobs and Beverly Gilbert. They believed strongly in creating a clean, safe learning environment for young children. In May of 2005 Beverly Gilbert retired leaving Sharon Jacobs as the sole proprietor of Abacus. Abacus Learning Center is now run under the direction of Sharon Jacobs, Owner and Stephanie Kolb, Program Director. Both women hold a BA degree in Education, and Stephanie Kolb also has a specialization in Special Education Pre-K through 12. Stephanie holds an Advanced Level Director's Credential.

First-Rate teachers

Our teachers have varying backgrounds; we have teachers who have a college degree in Elementary or Early Childhood Education, or a related field, and a few who have a Masters degree. The majority of our staff have been with our center for over 10 years. Many of our staff also have CPR Training as well as First Aid. All staff are carefully screened in accordance with the State of Florida guidelines.

Commitment to Excellence

Our mission is to embrace the pursuit of excellence both inside and outside the classroom. We encourage critical thinking and emphasize the learning process over rote memorization.

Tuitions and program options

All of our program offerings are Monday through Friday. However, we offer both part-time and full-time hours. Our part-time program runs 7:30 am - 2:30 pm, and our full-time program runs 6:30 am - 6:00pm. Your child is not required to attend all of those hours, however that is what your tuition is covering.

After hours care is offered at $7/hr for our part-time students.

We have three VPK options for our 4 year old students.

We offer a 9-12pm section, a 12:45 pm - 3:45 pm section, as well as both part-time and full-time sections for those families who need wrap-around care. Please call Abacus Learning Center for specific information about tuitions for all of the programs listed above.

TWO YEAR OLD CLASSROOM

THREE YEAR OLD CLASSROOM

Our two year old classroom focuses on learning basic concepts of letters, numbers, colors, shapes, name recognition and more combined with arts, music, and free play. There is also a concentration on socialization and self-help skills (i.e. hand-washing, toileting, taking turns, manners, etc.) Our two year old classroom operates at a 2:16 ratio.

THREE YEAR OLD CLASSROOM

The focus of our multi-age classroom is working on skills needed to be successful in VPK. We work on teacher led instruction in small and large groups while still focusing on basic skills in addition to incorporating music, arts, and free play. We introduce Stretch-n-Grow into the curriculum during this year as well. Students must be fully potty-trained to be in this class. Our multi-age classroom operates at a 2:18 ratio.
