It is the philosophy of Salem Lutheran Early Childhood Center that each child is a unique and special gift of God, with different needs and abilities. Each child is encouraged to develop socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually at his or her own rate. Children are taught in a loving, Christian environment that emphasizes respect, sharing, getting along with others, and learning while having fun. We believe in the teamwork aspect of training a child -- family, school, church and community. We keep in touch with our parents through daily conversations, weekly/monthly newsletters, and parent/teacher conferences. Our Center is licensed by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services. Our experienced staff members meet or exceed DCFS requirements for teachers. No child is discriminated against because of race, color, s*x, religion, national or ethnic origin. Any child with special needs will be considered on an individual basis.
