Explore Our Early Childhood Learning Center

Our goal is to nurture your child’s natural curiosity into a lifelong love of learning, and It All Begins Right Here.
St. Peter's Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) has four welcoming classrooms and an experienced, caring staff ready to help your child grow cognitively, emotionally, and socially. Our curriculum concentrates on academic readiness, fine and gross motor skills, and social development. Structured and independent play, as well as circle time and group activities, support early literacy and math learning, as well as teach life skills and Christian ideals such as respect, taking turns, following directions, and solving problems. Outdoor play, music, physical education, and engaging on-campus field trips all encourage cognitive development through sensory experiences.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." -- Fred Rogers
