Living Christ Early Learning Center

This preschool is run by Living Christ Lutheran Church. It’s a small and wonderful preschool. A lot of places have 20 kids to a room, but here it’s only 10, and there are only 4 classes, divided by age, meaning only 40 kids max in the entire school. They take infants through pre-​K.
LCELC has very nice facilities that are on par with larger schools. Also, because the school is on church grounds, they have space for a large back yard area (including a garden) and a much nicer and larger playground than others I’ve seen. I appreciate that the teachers do a lot of fun, enriching, non-​academic activities with the kids — probably made easier because the school is so small. The 4– and 5-​year olds walk to the park weekly, there’s a weekly bike day and water day, and they’ve been on field trips to Gale Woods Farm and the nearby Arboretum.
Tuition runs about the same or slightly less than many commercial places like New Horizons or KinderCare, and includes cold breakfast, hot lunch and a snack. The teachers are very caring and attentive, have proper grammar (and there are places where they don’t!) and they have all been with LCELC for a long time. I’ve always felt confident that they provided my daughter with a safe, fun, nurturing environment and would highly recommend this preschool.
