EARLY LEARNING CENTER
Our Early Learning Center is located at Beach Church and has been serving the beaches community for over 60 years. Our goal is to be a place where children can learn through age-appropriate curriculum, academic development, and a loving staff who desires them to know Jesus.
Our Center serves children ages 18 months – 4 years old (VPK). Students must turn classroom age by September 1 of the current school year for eligibility in our program. We offer a variety of schedules for our families. Our 18 month – 3 year old classrooms offer schedules from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm or 7:30 am – 5:15 pm with two day, three day and five day a week options. Our VPK classrooms are five days per week with the VPK day from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. VPK students can choose an extended schedule with wrap-around care from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm or full day schedule from 7:30 am – 5:15 pm.
Beach Church Early Learning Center is accepting wait list applications for the 2025-2026 school year for our 18 Months, Threes, and VPK programs. There is a $25 to be added to the wait list for the 2025-2026 school year. If you enroll during the school year, the $25 is applied toward the 2025-26 registration fee. If you are not offered a slot for the 2025-2026 school year, you will receive an earlier registration date for the 2026-2027 school year than the public registration date.
Our Twos program and wait list are at capacity and we no longer accepting wait list applications for the Twos classrooms for the 2025-26 school year.
If submitting a form to be added to the wait list, there is a $25 fee to be added that will be allocated toward registration if offered a slot during the 2025-26 school year.
