Overview

Who We Are

Crosstown Learning Center is a 3-Star, nationally accredited child care center located at 2501 East Archer in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

We are licensed through the Department of Human Services, Child Care Licensing and can care for 120 children, ages 6 weeks through Pre-Kindergarten.

Crosstown was the first nationally accredited child care center in north Tulsa, achieving our 3-star status and national accreditation through the National Association for the Education of the Young Child in 2001. NAEYC’s accreditation process involves a year-long self-study which includes training, parent surveys, staff surveys and a thorough study of the physical plant. NAEYC requires that all accredited centers undergo a re-accreditation process every 5 years. This study is similar to the original accreditation visit, and involves the same self-study principles. One of NAEYC’s requirements for their accredited centers involves the education level of teachers. Crosstown’s staff is enrolled in higher education classes at local colleges and universities working towards their bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education.

Crosstown collaborates with many organizations in Tulsa. We are part of the pediatric rotation for the University of Oklahoma College of Pediatric Medicine, we work closely with the Anna Vaughan School of Nursing through Oral Roberts University and work as often as we can with Tulsa Community College. Students from Bishop Kelley High School, Cascia Hall Preparatory School and Holland Hall School support Crosstown by helping with various projects throughout the year.

Crosstown has adopted Creative Curriculum which is presented in each classroom. Our curriculum provides us opportunities to have on-going assessments of our children, through documentation, lesson planning that is geared specifically to the individual child and offers opportunities for parents to become involved in their child’s learning. We are also offering parent education programs, which meet once a month to discuss parenting issues. We are hoping to increase the number of education opportunities for adults which will include our parents as well as members of our community.

Our hours of operation are, 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We observe the national holidays, also observing the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. We observe the Tulsa Public Schools weather calendar.

We are a culturally diverse center and have a Family Support Specialist on staff.

For 36 years, Crosstown was located in the old Second Presbyterian Church located at 76 North Zunis. In 2005, Crosstown moved to its new location at 2501 East Archer. Thanks to support from local foundations, we purchased and renovated the All Tribes Community Church and it has become our home.

We look to the future with great excitement and believe that our new facility will help us become more grounded in the community of the Kendall-Whittier neighborhood.
