General Information
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Early Learning Center at University Baptist Church is to teach your child in a loving, Christian environment while helping them to grow physically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. We strive to provide a well-balanced program that not only benefits your child but also supports, encourages, and ministers to your family.
CURRICULUM
Our teaching staff is dedicated to make the ELC program a positive learning experience for preschoolers. Our classrooms are arranged in play-learning centers, and children are able to make choices and participate in small group activities. By using the Christian-based curriculum “WEE Learn,” we are promoting hands-on experiences that are meaningful to the young child.
All of the ELC classes offer age-appropriate, hand-on activities that promote developmental skills. At the preschool level, we stress pre-reading and pre-writing activities. These help young children to develop the basic skills necessary to read and write.
