A tiny little force of awesomeness
Founded in 2011, the Early Learning Center at Granger Community Church was launched to offer Michiana families high-quality, faith-based early childhood education and emerged in the nation’s top 8% of NAEYC-accredited schools. Today, the dream continues at the newly constructed, world-class Early Learning Center at Hubbard Hill in Elkhart, Indiana.
