The Early Learning Center
Inspired Teaching and Purposeful Play
The UBC Early Learning Center values families and wishes to partner with caregivers to positively impact the lives of children in our community. Our center welcomes children four months old through Pre-K into a loving community where they can learn and grow in a safe, supportive environment. Through inspired teaching and purposeful play children discover their place in God’s amazing world. At the ELC, we keep class ratios low to ensure we are meeting all our students' needs.

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.
