Our Mission

The Early Learning Center's mission is to foster health, empathy, and independence in our students, and to show God’s love to the community. We align with the Church’s mission of constantly striving toward a vibrant and growing family made truly and fully alive in Christ. To this end, the program aims to furnish a Christ-centered environment which helps children to feel safe and loved, and to develop agency -- the ability to act with confidence on their own. Our full-day services will include structured and unstructured play; art, songs and stories; rest times; outdoor exploration; physical challenges to improve motor skills, and many other sensory activities. Play-based Learning We believe that children learn best through play. It is is then our job to provide them with a safe, stimulating, and challenging environment in which they can learn through their natural curiosity. Carefully crafted, learning-rich environments ensure that each child can select a different item or activity, and learn from it. Our teachers and aides work as guides who encourage and reinforce the child’s natural attempts at discovery and mastery of new skills. Our play-based, child-driven program includes activities aimed at meeting the physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development needs of our students.

Our Vision

Our aim is not to cater specifically just to Christian families, but instead to provide a Christ-centered environment to everyone who enters.  Our staff is challenged to show grace upon grace to the children and their families and to "be the Christ" in their lives.  We want to develop deep relationships with the families we serve so that discipleship relationships naturally develop.
