Early Learning Center
The ELC is a gospel ministry of Riverside Baptist Church. We use Lifeway materials for Bible Studies and the Abeka curriculum. Our program is designed to focus on a child’s life skills that develop during the early formative years. We offer care for children from 6 weeks to pre-kindergarten.
“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
We Promise:
- A Bible based, Christ centered educational program for preschoolers, ages 6 weeks to 4K.
- Every child to feel loved, cared for and respected as an individual.
- A clean, safe and secure Learning environment
- An environment to enhance a child’s spiritual, physical, social, emotional and mental development.
- To fulfill the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40)
- To fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)
