LELC’s Mission is to nurture and care for children in the development of heart, mind, body, and spirit in a Christian environment, involving parents and community through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Vision is to be recognized as an outstanding Christian Early Learning and Child Care organization.
Our Philosophy
Lutheran Early Learning Centers is a non-profit and charitable organization that helps children experience the love of God, through Christ, who desires to be their Lord and Savior. Our programming is developed to:
Nurture a positive self-concept in children. This means encouraging children to accept themselves and others as God made them: as unique beings with talents and limitations, while accepting and appreciating others.
Enhance the social development of children by encouraging and developing positive, loving relationships, and good manners.
Enhance the emotional development of children by helping them manage feelings and express them in a constructive way.
Enhance the intellectual development of children by encouraging a desire to learn, fostering thinking processes, and helping children to acquire and use verbal skills.
Enhance physical development of children by promoting balanced and good nutrition, and by developing their large, fine, and sensory motor skills.
Nurture the creative development of children by helping them express themselves through various arts, and helping children appreciate the beauty of creation.
Enhance parental skills in the education of their children by increasing knowledge of child development and ways to interact with their child.
