A big thank you to our sponsors!

At The Early Learning Center, every effort is made to keep tuition at a reasonable rate, allowing more families access to an ELC education for their children. Each year, there is a “gap” between the tuition amount charged to each family, and the actual costs incurred by the school to educate each child. It is through fundraising efforts like The Trivia Night Around the World and the generosity of donors that this additional cost is met and allows our sweet little school to keep running!

Founded in 2011, the Early Learning Center at Granger Community Church was launched to offer Michiana families high-quality, faith-based early childhood education and emerged in the nation’s top 8% of NAEYC-accredited schools. Today, the dream continues at the newly constructed, world-class Early Learning Center at Hubbard Hill in Elkhart, Indiana.

Mission : We partner with families to raise joyful, curious, caring children in a faith-filled community of lifelong learners.

Vision : An intergenerational community model for holistic early learning that transforms lives across generations.

Learning
We believe educating the whole person is an unending process nurtured at home with family and extended to the learning center through healthy, loving interactions with people of all ages.

Community
We cultivate a trusting community with shared goals and values to inspire joy, a sense of beauty, and wonder deeply. We hold each other accountable to bring our best to the holistic learning experience by strengthening our knowledge, skills, and mindsets to connect and serve others.
