Emily Meschter Early Learning Center We have a lot of fun playing and learning and invite you to join us in our classroom any time you’d like.

We opened our doors in the 2000-2001 school year and we are now the proud educators of 160 energetic and eager-to-learn preschoolers on our two campuses of Emily Meschter Early Learning Center. Our Preschool
We opened our doors to the Emily Meschter Early Learning Center in the 2000-2001 school year and we are now the proud educators of 190 energetic and eager-to-learn preschoolers. As we work together our children will know they are important and have the potential to achieve great things. Our Philosophy
We are committed to the education of the whole child. This means we don’t just teach the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. In addition to focusing on those essential skills, we provide activities that are developmentally appropriate in a stimulating, challenging, and creative environment. During the first few years of a child’s life the brain is growing and developing at an amazing rate. We will expose your child to a variety of quality experiences that are crucial to his development. Since a child’s work is play, we have designed ELC’s “hands-on” approach to learning to foster creativity and expanded self-expression. Emily Meschter Early Learning Center teachers show respect for children by encouraging them to think for themselves, make decisions, and resolve their problems independently, as well as express their own ideas and feelings. We also strongly believe that families are vital to a child’s development. So we encourage you to participate in various preschool activities including celebrations, caregiver-child evening events, and volunteering in/out of the classroom. Your positive attitude toward your child, his/her education, and school will carry over to your child’s attitude toward him/herself and school.

Students cannot get enough of one another. We love to play, share and make memories at our school.
