EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER


Here at Immanuel Lutheran Early Childhood Center (ECC), we believe children are precious gifts from God. We believe each child is a special and unique person who needs guidance in developing spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically in a Christian atmosphere.

Immanuel Lutheran ECC is a partner with parents in providing the necessary guidance that enables each child to develop his/her potential. As an extension of the home, working with parents is vital to the success of the program.


ECC Classes

We are licensed to care for children 18 months to 4 years of age. The children are divided into groups according to the age they will be when eligible for Kindergarten. Children must be 18 months to 3 years old on or before the first of September for the enrollment into those classes.

18 to 24 months (NEW!)
This class is designed to create a fun and stimulating environment for our littlest Jesus followers! Through crafts, songs and play, we introduce Bible stories, the alphabet, colors, numbers and shapes.

2 Year Old
Similar to the other classes, we will learn through crafts, songs and play! We will introduce Bible stories, the alphabet, colors, numbers and shapes.

3 Year Old
This class is designed for pre-K readiness! Through crafts, songs and play, we explore Bible stories, the alphabet, color, numbers and shapes. Teachers will help them to learn a structured classroom routine along with independence and accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to provide food for my child?

We will provide a morning snack, afternoon snack, and lunch. Morning snack and lunch are served with milk and afternoon snack is served with water. 

When is registration due?

We typically begin registering our currently enrolled students in March or April. Then in mid to late April, we begin calling our wait list to fill open spots.

Is the waitlist long?

Sometimes, yes. We add children to the list, as their parents inquire about our center. When it comes time for enrolling, some families have moved or made other arrangements. Continue checking through the spring to see where you are on the list.

Must my child be potty trained?

Children must be potty trained before entering our 3 year old classes. While in our 2 year old class, the teachers work with the parents on training when the child is ready.

What is considered potty trained?

The child must ask to go to the restroom. They must be able to wipe themselves with minimal help. If an accident occurs, we would like them to be able to dress themselves with minimal help.

What do we need to provide if my child is enrolled at the ECC?

18 MONTHS - 2 YEAR OLD CLASSES: Diapers/Pull-ups, small pillow and blanket (nap rolls are ok), and a backpack with a change of clothes. Unless there is an allergy, the ECC will provide baby wipes. Water bottle with a lid.
