Vision and Values of Baptist Temple Early Learning Center:

We recognize that all children are God’s unique creation. Our goal is to provide a safe place for children and their parents to discover God’s world, and how it works. Additionally, we encourage our children to love others and make good choices as they grow. To do this staff members work together integrating basic Christian principles with a research-based curriculum to provide a safe learning environment. Our teachers work to foster curiosity, critical thinking and healthy physical development through play, exploration, and by modeling good manners, hygiene, and extreme generosity of spirit. We believe this is a great benefit to the families of our community and their children.
