EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Ages 6 Weeks – 12 Years

7:00 am – 6:00 pm   Monday – Friday

 
Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and child centered atmosphere in classroom settings that meet the needs of each individual child. We try to encourage positive feelings about self, school, church and the environment. We implement an enriching curriculum for each age group, including beginning phonics, physical exercise, hands on math and science, appreciation of art and music and creative expression. We want to recognize and encourage the child’s individuality and God given talents. We strive to foster the development of language art skills including listening, comprehension, and letter recognition.
 
Infants & Toddlers

We want to provide a loving and nurturing environment for our infants. For our toddlers, we provide a place that they may learn to share and to explore the world around them through music, movement, stories & activities.

2 Year Olds

We want to make the child’s experience in the classroom a positive one. During the year, the children are taught to share in group settings and group play. Discovering new skills through hands on experiences in art, music, and physical activities.

Pre-School 3 Year Olds

Strive to create a loving and positive atmosphere for the child. Our hope is to develop his/her self-confidence while introducing new skills such as cutting and pasting and continuing with colors and shapes, letters and numbers, while remembering that our main objective is to make learning fun. All activities are creative and child centered learning fun.

Pre-Kindergarten 4 Year Olds

We try to be very sure that each child develops a positive self-concept and a respect for others. We expose the children to developmentally appropriate readiness skills such as cutting, pasting, writing material and many different kinds of sensory experiences. Our goal is to help them become socially, emotionally, and physically secure with their abilities to begin kindergarten. Our preschool 3 and 4’s entertain us in a Christmas music/drama program. And, parents are invited to join us each year for our Holiday Feast.
