GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO--(Marketwire - December 11, 2007) - Crème de la Crème® Early Learning Centers of Excellence® has announced the opening of its newest center, Crème de la Crème (Mount Laurel), Inc.

"Through our premier interior and exterior facilities, outstanding early childhood curriculum, and extensive security system, Crème de la Crème provides an exceptionally safe and nurturing environment for children and gives parents peace of mind," said Peter Lungo, chief operating officer.

Crème de la Crème's early childhood-focused curriculum includes; second language, computers, science, reading and math. The center offers many amenities and services designed to make life easier for busy families such as on-site haircuts and private lessons in dance, music, karate and tennis.

The center is currently enrolling infants and children between the ages of six weeks through kindergarten for full- and part-time programs. Center hours are 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays.
