EARLY LEARNING CENTER
Memorial Baptist Early Learning Center is dedicated to providing children with a quality education from a Christian perspective. In keeping with this tradition, our foundation for academic excellence and Christian character training is achieved by following the Abeka curriculum. Founded more than 25 years ago, the Abeka curriculum’s primary goals are to develop Christian character traits, train children in the Bible, and provide learning experiences for total development in traditional subject matter.
Our objectives are to see that each child grows spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. We are looking forward to working together with you and your child to provide a nurturing and educational foundation.
