Mission Statement: The Early Learning Center is a ministry of Saraland United Methodist Church. It is our desire to teach God's love and exemplify Jesus in our daily interactions with children. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment coupled with quality, age-appropriate education for children walking-4K.
Beliefs: -all children are created uniquely in God's image -all children deserve to be loved and accepted -all children can learn -children learn best in a safe, caring environment -children learn best when concepts are presented in a variety of ways (kinesthetically, visually, auditorily, etc.) -family involvement is vital to a child's education
Teaching Philosophy: We work to incorporate Biblical principles throughout our learning opportunities while providing a Christian perspective of the world. We believe that the love of Christ can be experienced early in a child's development. Our team of early childhood educators strives to use developmentally appropriate practices, focusing on the child's social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical growth.
Intentional small class sizes and low student to teacher ratios allow for individualized attention and success during whole class, teacher-directed instruction. Child-directed activity centers coupled with hands-on-experiences, engage each child's natural curiosity and encourage exploration of God's world at a child's own pace.
The Early Learning Center works cooperatively with parents to implement the process of a Christian education. We welcome a diversity of children who can experience God's love, grow in it and carry it into the world.
