Our preschool and kindergarten students enjoy enriching opportunities in the Library, Music Class, and our weekly Chapels. In the Library, they learn how to use good library manners, listen attentively to stories, and take care of books. In Music Class, they explore new songs, play instruments, and discover rhythms. And during Chapel, they hear Bible stories, sing songs, and practice sitting in “Big Church.” Every experience expands their learning and growth!
Our Preschool programs are offered to 3 and 4 year old children. Classrooms are designed to meet each child’s unique levels and abilities. Each class follows a structured schedule and is designed with the “center” concept. The centers offer the children the opportunity to work in small groups in areas such as math, language, art, science. The schedule includes additional curriculum enrichment activities such as music, story time, group activities, and outside play.

Welcome to the Early Learning Center Kindergarten!
Wondering if our ELC Kindergarten is right for your child? Here are some things to consider:
1️⃣ A True Educational Headstart: At the Early Learning Center, we believe that kindergarten is not just a milestone, but a crucial educational headstart for your child.
2️⃣ Small Class Sizes, Big Impact: Our kindergarten classes are intentionally limited to only 16 children, ensuring personalized attention from our two highly qualified teachers.
3️⃣ Empowering Excellence: We go beyond the basics, offering an expanded opportunity for your child to master reading, writing, and math skills, setting the stage for a bright academic future.
4️⃣ Investing in Success: Research shows that children who begin learning early have a much greater chance of becoming successful students. We’re here to nurture that success.
5️⃣ Building Strong Foundations: Kindergarten is a pivotal year when the foundation is set for all other learning in your child’s life. Let us help lay the strongest groundwork.
6️⃣ Double the Engagement: Our program offers your child twice the amount of intellectual engagement compared to larger programs, fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
7️⃣ A Priceless Investment: While the cost of tuition each month may seem significant, it’s an investment in the future educational success of your child – a gift that keeps on giving.
