• Welcome to Nativity of Our Lord Early Learning Center
  Where Christ is Born and Grows
   

  A child’s earliest years include some of the most unique and valuable stages of life.  At the Nativity Early Learning Center (NELC), our most important responsibility is to provide a safe, healthy, nurturing, and responsive setting for every child.  We are committed to supporting each child’s development by recognizing individual differences and potential.  The NELC has been serving families for over 32 years. We offer an excellent full day preschool as well as an extended day program for those attending Nativity school in grades K-5^th.
  
  The NELC is nestled in the heart of Nativity’s parish and school, occupying the two lower levels of the Lannan Center at 1900 Wellesley Avenue, directly across the street from Nativity School.  This location allows for a convenient connection for families with school age and preschool children.  We are the perfect answer for stay-at-home and working parents who need and expect quality education and care for their children.
  
  We look forward to having you join us as we work together in building a foundation for your child’s future.

  
   

  From the Director

   

  Welcome Parents and/or Guardians,
  
  Thank you for choosing the Nativity Early Learning Center (NELC) for your child.  I believe  early childhood education is one of the most beneficial programs your child will experience. Our teachers help to shape and guide your children to become successful in years to come.  The NELC programs give children the opportunity to develop relationships, self-confidence, respect for others, as well as accepting responsibility for their actions and decisions in a safe and nurturing environment.  I know the importance of a Catholic education and am proud of the strong sense of community a Catholic school provides.  We are looking forward to working with you and your child.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at 651-696-5437 or email me at [email protected]
