Our Program

Program Design

The ELC provides high-quality early education and care for children, ages 3 and 4. Our curriculum follows the Kansas Early Learning Standards and focuses on early childhood development, school readiness, and socialization. Through a child-centered, play-based approach, we encourage exploration, creativity, problem-solving, and a connection with nature while supporting each child's unique interests and needs to foster growth, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Extended Program Hours and Cost

Our early childhood program is offered year-round and provides flexible scheduling to meet families' needs, including before- and after-school care.

Standard program hours are Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., with tuition at $350/month for in-district families and $700/month for out-of-district families. Extended care is available until 5:30 p.m. for an additional $75/month (in-district) or $150/month (out-of-district).

Community Engagement

Dedicated to strengthening our community connections, we prioritize collaborative efforts with childcare providers and engage with local, county, and state services to support the continued improvement of early childhood education. We believe these partnerships are key to creating a positive impact for children, families, and our community.
