Early Learning

Our Early Learning program nurtures young minds and hearts within a Christ-centered environment. In every classroom, faith and learning grow hand in hand: Our Reggio-inspired approach and age-appropriate, play-based instruction encourage curiosity and creativity, helping each child recognize their unique gifts as part of God’s purpose for their lives. 

Blake Lindner Thompson Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC)

Our dedicated Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) follows the Reggio Emilia approach, a child-centered, project-oriented style of learning. The campus features bright classrooms, nature-based outdoor play areas, and specialized spaces designed for early exploration, creativity, and connection.

Academic Results

Strong foundations in literacy, math readiness, and character development prepare students for success in kindergarten and beyond.

Introduction to Extracurriculars

Enrich your child’s day with music, movement, chapel, and Spanish—starting as early as age 2.

Service from the Beginning

Through age-appropriate service projects, our little ones build empathy, compassion, and community awareness.

“I look at these children, and they’re all little now. But I know that someday they’re going to be teachers, doctors, musicians, scientists—they’ll be in all kinds of positions of influence. Think of all the lives they’ll impact in the future.”
