At St. Matthew's Early Learning Center, we are dedicated to nurturing each child's unique, God-given gifts. Our staff is committed to creating a supportive and loving environment that sparks a lifelong love for learning. We understand the profound impact of early childhood experiences and the crucial role they play in shaping young minds. We engage with children at their level, offering intentional learning opportunities through play, faith, and beyond.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and joy in every child while fostering connections with the broader community through field trips, guest speakers, and meaningful, age-appropriate learning experiences.
Creativity and self-expression are nurtured through music, art, and dramatic play, giving children the opportunity to explore and grow their unique talents.
Our mission is to educate the whole child while actively serving and strengthening our community. By building strong friendships and a sense of community, we foster an inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued.
We provide a loving, Christian environment where each child is recognized as a unique creation of God, nurtured through song, stories and play.
As a valued part of the St. Matthew’s Catholic School community, the ELC benefits from specialized classes such as art, music, Spanish, physical education, and library. Our students are also paired with middle school “Big Buddies” to attend Mass and participate in other shared activities, building strong connections across grade levels.
