EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Our Early Learning Center is located at Beach Church and has been serving the beaches community for over 60 years. Our goal is to be a place where children can learn through age-appropriate curriculum, academic development, and a loving staff who desires them to know Jesus.

Our Center serves children ages 18 months – 4 years old (VPK). Students must turn classroom age by September 1 of the current school year for eligibility in our program. We offer a variety of schedules for our families. Our 18 month – 3 year old classrooms offer schedules from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm or 7:30 am – 5:15 pm with two day, three day and five day a week options. Our VPK classrooms are five days per week with the VPK day from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. VPK students can choose an extended schedule with wrap-around care from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm or full day schedule from 7:30 am – 5:15 pm.
