Living Christ's love within a changing world.
Bethany Early Learning Ministry is an expression of Bethany Lutheran Church's purpose — a warm, faith-filled place where children ages 6 weeks to 5 years grow into who God made them to be.
Nurturing the whole child.
We support parents and families by offering children, ages 6 weeks to 5 years, early education experiences nurturing the whole child —
Designed for developing young learners.
Bethany Early Learning Ministry designs and delivers academic and social experiences to meet developmentally appropriate expectations that support young learners.
We believe in the value and uniqueness of each child as a child of God.
We strive to develop in all our children the "5 C's Qualities" — Confidence, Compassion, Creativity, Curiosity, and Competence.
We meet the needs of the whole child in a fun, creative, nurturing environment.
We believe the learning environment should be safe and loving, challenging and stimulating, developmentally appropriate and fun.
We model Christian values, respect each child, provide acceptance and safety, nurture self-esteem, and support parents.
Passionate, lifelong learners.
We hire only nurturing, professional people who have a passion for teaching. Bethany ELM believes education is a lifelong process — one is never too old to learn. This philosophy is embraced by our Directors, Teachers, and Staff.
Our staff participates in continuing education seminars, classes, and early education conventions. Our investment in staff provides a positive educational experience for your child.
