Early Childhood

The St. Paul Early Learning Center provides quality child care for children ages 6 months to 5 years old. Our Center is fully licensed by the state of Michigan and provides a safe, nurturing place for your child to learn and grow in Christ. The St. Paul Early Learning Center is open from 6:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and offers a Christ-centered learning environment filled with caring teachers and experienced educators.

First Steps in the Right Direction

The St. Paul Early Learning Center is focused on building a solid foundation for your child. The Center is a place where your child can grow spiritually, academically, physically and socially, all while learning about God’s world around them. Our program is led by caring and experienced educators who are highly trained in early childhood education. Your child will explore a variety of academic subjects and also have the opportunity to experience enrichment programs including music, art and technology. Here, our students form life-long friendships built together in Christ.

A Place of Academic Excellence

We utilize a caring, multi-sensory approach to learning, based on Michigan’s Early Childhood Standards of Quality from the Michigan Department of Education. This curriculum is process-oriented and is based on the premise that children learn best when they are actively involved in experiences that make learning meaningful.

A Place for Spiritual Growth

Here at St. Paul Early Learning Center, our goal is for each child to develop a relationship with Jesus as their personal Savior and friend. We focus on character development by modeling Christ-like behavior. Children learn about God’s love for them and others through daily Jesus time and weekly school chapel service.
