The Early Learning Center of Woodland Church

Woodland Church commits to building a church family that proclaims Christ and reflects His love. Woodland Church has established the Early Learning Center (ELC) with the same mission, purpose, and doctrinal commitment as the church itself. The foundation for the ELC is the good news of Jesus Christ.

The Early Learning Center (ELC) has operated for over 50 years in Algiers and has students from throughout the Greater New Orleans area. The ELC offers a half day Christian Pre-school Developmental Program for 1 - 4 year old students.

Various topics are introduced during the year through reading, dramatic play, art, movement, music and other creative methods. Classroom activities are supplemented with a weekly chapel service, a music class and a variety of outside resources. The curriculum is based on sound principles regarding brain development, mastery orientation, emotional well-being and spiritual growth. The ELC adopts the educational philosophy that play, through age-appropriate activities in a child-paced environment, is the best method of learning in early childhood and forms the strongest foundation for later academic achievement.
