About Us

A place where little hands learn, laugh, and grow.

Burkett's Watch Me Grow Early Learning Center is a home-based childcare program located at 132 E John St in the heart of Bedford, Pennsylvania. We opened our doors with a simple belief: every child deserves a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where they can explore, ask questions, and discover the world at their own pace.

Our small-group setting means your child gets personal attention — the kind that helps them feel seen, heard, and encouraged every single day. From messy art projects to quiet story time, we follow each child's interests and build learning around what makes them curious.

Small Groups

Intimate class sizes so every child gets the attention they need.

Safe & Caring

A home-like environment where your child feels secure and loved.

Programs designed for every stage

Whether your little one is just starting to explore or is ready for preschool, we have a program that meets them right where they are.

Why Families Choose Us

The Watch Me Grow difference

We're not just a childcare center — we're your neighbors, your partners, and a second home for your child.

Home-Based Setting

A cozy, residential environment that feels like home — not an institution. Your child will settle in faster and feel safer.

Personalized Attention

Small group sizes mean we know each child's personality, needs, and interests — and we build learning around them.

Flexible Scheduling

Full-time, part-time, or drop-in — we work with your family's schedule, not the other way around.

Family Partnerships

We keep the lines of communication open. Daily updates, regular check-ins, and an open-door policy — you're always in the loop.
