Programs
The Early Learning Center is a licensed, faith-based private school for children 2.5 to 5
years of age—and we'll begin welcoming infants (6 weeks+) at the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Originally founded in 2011, we've opened a new, state-of-the-art school on the grounds of Hubbard Hill.
Our spaces are specially designed to inspire creativity and wonder in young children. We host a close-knit group of teachers who are strong in their faith and commitment to education.
