Mission, Vision, and Philosophy 

Our Early Learning Programs are a fundamental part of the Church’s mission to proclaim the Gospel, build faith communities, celebrate through worship, and serve others.  The commitment to developing the whole child using a developmentally appropriate approach to learning is an essential part of the mission of the ELP. 

We believe every child should understand the following: God made me, God made me beautiful, and God made me in his image.  Early Learning Programs help children develop a lasting relationship with Jesus through their work, play, exploration, and problem-solving through the community with others.  We believe every child has the right to develop to
his/her fullest potential under God’s loving grace. 

All children will be provided with a foundation in readiness skills preparing them for future success.  Since children learn by doing, our curriculum will develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving, and the ability to explore the world around them.

Early Learning Programs will serve as a safe and loving environment filled with days of learning, exploring, discovering, and interacting.  Our daily vision is to help each child develop a lasting relationship with Jesus as we work, play, explore, question, and learn together.
