Where Little Learners Grow, Friendships Blossom, and Families Belong!

For over 34 years, Nativity Early Learning Center (NELC) has been a trusted partner to families, providing a nurturing, engaging, and faith-filled environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Serving children ages 33 months through 12 years, NELC offers a Full-Day Preschool Program, an Afterschool Program for Nativity School students in kindergarten through fifth grade, and an exciting Summer Camp filled with hands-on activities, creative exploration, and memorable field trips.

Our dedicated and experienced teaching staff is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Through meaningful learning experiences, purposeful play, and individualized instruction, we celebrate each child's unique strengths, interests, and developmental needs.

Our Philosophy

Nurturing the Whole Child — Mind, Body, and Spirit
At NELC, we believe that children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and connected. Our approach focuses on developing the whole child by supporting social-emotional growth, academic readiness, physical development, language skills, cognitive development, and spiritual growth.

Rooted in Catholic values, we encourage kindness, compassion, respect, and a sense of belonging. Through play-based learning, hands-on discovery, and positive relationships, we help children build confidence, develop friendships, embrace new challenges, and discover the joy of learning.

We recognize that parents are a child's first and most important teachers. By building strong partnerships with families, we create a supportive community where children and parents alike feel welcomed, connected, and valued.

Our Mission

Growing Together in Faith, Learning, and Community
Our mission at Nativity Early Learning Center is to foster a caring, collaborative community where children, families, and educators work together to inspire a lifelong love of learning.

Through a thoughtfully designed, research-based curriculum and developmentally appropriate experiences, we nurture each child's individual growth while building the social, emotional, academic, and spiritual foundations for future success.

At NELC, we're more than a learning center — we're a community where children are loved, families are welcomed, and every child has the opportunity to shine!
