Early Learning Center
Serving Children Ages 6 Weeks - 2 Years
A Christ-centered alternative to traditional daycare
At Prince of Peace, we take great pride in being a family.
We desire to instill the love of Christ in your child through play, prayer, music, and worship while teaching your child to become an independent thinker, an environmental explorer and a lifelong learner.
The Early Learning Center is devoted to the developmental needs of children from six weeks through two years old. Unlike an ordinary daycare environment, we provide a setting that stimulates early developmental growth, encourages sensory play, and prepares children as they begin to learn about God.
The program partners with families to keep them informed, involved, and up-to-date in their child's daily activities and developmental progress.

We guide your child through their most formative developmental stages.
Infants have many sensory opportunities that will encourage investigation of sight, sound, touch, smell and movement. The environment stimulates the senses and enhances curiosity.
Language development is introduced by baby signs, music and early literacy activities. Early education emphasizes exploration and self-expression while learning to develop relationships and build trust. As infants become toddlers, they begin a more structured program that leads to the discovery of “I can do this.” Children begin to have a sense of self-being as they prepare for the transition to preschool.
Beyond the academic and social successes, something more fundamental exists in the Early Learning Center: a connection that reaches far beyond the classroom. Lifelong relationships are developed between families, teachers, and friends as students grow in God’s love.
WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY
What truly sets the ELC apart from other childcare centers is the school-like environment and Christian foundation that provides a sense of community, guidance, and leadership we trust. It’s not a daycare—it’s an intentional environment where infants and toddlers are cared for with the same thoughtfulness as you would expect in a private school setting. With multiple classrooms that are tailored to the individual development stages of each child, it’s been wonderful to see our children thrive as they move into classes designed to support their unique growth.Kelly Kent, Parent of 2 Children in ELC
