Welcome to Woodland Park Christian Learning Center! At Woodland Park Christian Learning Center, we want to be a part of the village that parents need to raise their children. We provide a safe, nurturing, and creative environment where young children can begin to learn the basic values and skills necessary to live meaningful lives and thrive academically and spiritually. We believe that a life rooted in foundational Christian principles such as worshipping God, love and respect for self and others, kindness, sharing, playing fair, honesty, patience, forgiveness, compassion, and self-control, is a life set up for future contentment and purpose. What We Offer: Our program focuses on school readiness serving walking toddlers (18 months) through pre-school-aged (5 years) children. Blending academic learning with hands-on creativity and exploration, our children engage in a variety of enriching activities designed to foster cognitive, emotional, and social growth.

What Sets Us Apart: At Woodland Park, we understand the vital importance of early childhood development in shaping future success.

As a part of our ongoing evolution, we strive to remain flexible and adaptable in accommodating the evolving needs of the children under our care. Towards that end, we partner with other organizations to enhance our offerings and encourage in-school engagements. Our unique Bible curriculum brings Scripture to life in a way that children can relate to, while our play-based learning approach makes education fun and purposeful. We believe that children are a blessing, fearfully and wonderfully made, and we seek to awaken the unique God-given talents in each child. Our Facilities: We offer a wide range of spaces that support children's exploration and creativity in a clean and bright learning environment. In addition to our classrooms, we're currently creating an activity/sensory room where children can engage in interactive, hands-on learning experiences.

Throughout the year, the classes have special visitors such as Fire Department, Police Officers, Dental Hygienists, artists, musicians, scientists and more!
