SEVERN CHRISTIAN EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Operating Hours: 8:30 - 3:00 PM Monday – Friday

Mission:  To be an outreach ministry of the church by providing a licensed, high quality and valuable service to the community.

Philosophy:  Children are a gift of the Lord (Psalm 127:3), we exist to value these treasured gifts of God, and to train and teach them to love and serve God.

Licensure: SCELC is licensed through the office of child care (within the Maryland State Department of Education). This license regulates class sizes, staff qualifications, and what type of program components must be offered.  In addition, state mandated forms must be completed prior to the child starting the program.

General Information:  During circle time the younger children learn Bible stories, ABC’s, numbers, colors, shapes, and all about the weather.  They also learn about other things via a weekly theme (i.e. vacations, sports, community helpers, etc…) Effective this school year, the 3 & 4 year olds will be taught from a published Christian Preschool Curriculum.

The 2 year old class also works on potty training.  We have small sized potty and sink adjacent to their classroom.

We provide a snack during the AM & PM sessions.  If the child is staying for lunchtime (11:30 AM – 12:00 PM) a lunch must be provided by the parent.

We have a large outdoor playground and a gymnasium for use during inclement weather.
