LEARN. GROW. THRIVE.

The Early Learning Center is a preschool/child development program that will help children get a good start in life before they enter school.

Each child's intellectual, physical, spiritual, social, and emotional needs will be addressed at his/her level with appropriate teaching strategies. Breakfast, lunch, and a snack are provided.
