Since God’s love extends equally to all people, our daycare center welcomes and encourages any of His children to apply for enrollment in any program it offers, regardless of race, color, or nationality. The Early Learning Center does not discriminate based on race, color, handicapping condition, or ethnicity.
Enrollment is ongoing and granted based upon availability and payment of the non-refundable $200 registration fee. The registration fee must be paid, and the registration packet must be completed before making a class assignment. Please contact Ethram Williams, ELC Director, for additional information. Â
Enrollment is an ongoing process and is granted based on availability. We do offer a waiting list for children we cannot accommodate at the time of inquiry. Families are welcome to be placed on our Waiting List for a refundable fee of $100 per child. This fee will go towards their registration fee if a spot becomes available. We accept cash, checks, or money orders for all tuition fees. When a space becomes available, the family will need to fill out the forms in the registration packet, pay the remaining non-refundable $200 registration fee, and provide a current set of immunization records.  The registration fee is only accepted once a spot has been secured for your child(ren)'s attendance.
