ST. PAUL EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING CENTER
"The Peaceable Kingdom"
WELCOME
Our school offers magical learning environments for children ages 18 months through VPK.
We offer a safe and loving Christian environment for your child that focuses not only on preparing children academically for elementary school, but also for life.
Our “Peaceable Kingdom” features a one-of-a-kind peacemaking curriculum to answer today’s headlines of youth responding to their world and to stress with bullying and even violence. It is our hope that graduates of our program will respond with mediation, friendship, tolerance and leadership skills.
Throw in cooking, gardening, amazing teachers, partnerships with parents, and you have a very special place for children!
We are thankful that in 2008 God guided us to create this wonderful program for children and their families. Please give us a call and schedule a tour – we’d love to meet you!

"Our family discusses our highs and lows for the day just about every night at supper. It’s a fun way to get our kids to tell us how their day went. Last night, when it was JB's turn, he immediately said I had no lows and Chapel was my high. He proceeded to tell us all about chapel and that he got to go inside a whale. He was so excited to tell us all about chapel. I think he really enjoys preschool. Thank you (to you and the staff) for taking great care of him."

The Wrap
Monday–Friday 7:30 am-5:30 pm
Mornings can be tough, especially for parents who work outside of the home or parents who need to be on time for a morning appointment, etc. Again in the afternoon, extra care hours may be needed. So we decided that if we were going to open early/close later to help you out, then we were going to really help you out!
Instead of rushing your child to school we offer you The Wrap. This is a calm time of quiet activities led by a teacher, such as story-time, finger painting, and puzzles, filling the time until class begins. The afternoon is also filled with a variety of adventures and fun. So... come on in for a wonderful full day at preschool!
