ECRLPEarly Childhood Recreation Learning Program

September 9, 2013 - May 8, 2014

The Early Childhood Recreation Learning Program is an ideal environment allowing children to receive a quality educational and recreational experience. Our philosophy is to learn through play. The teachers are educated in the field of early childhood and are there to assist in nurturing your child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. The program is designed to develop your child’s self image.

We offer 2 ALL DAY programs as well as half day programs. The extra time spent in the classroom allows the children to expand upon their readiness skills for future education in preschool or Kindergarten, and provides an alternative for working parents with a safe, fun and educational environment for their children.
Family involvement is a part of our program.

Below are the class options to choose from. If you register for an ALL DAY program please send a lunch and drink daily with your child.
