Nurturing, Supporting, & Encouraging

AUM Early Learning Center

The Early Learning Center (ELC) is a NAEYC accredited preschool dedicated to nurturing, supporting and encouraging 3-5 year old students as they prepare to enter elementary school. At the same time, the ELC is a model training site and professional development school for future teachers. We serve children from diverse racial groups and ethnic backgrounds–with a variety of academic and social needs–and strive to develop self-directed, self-disciplined, self-responsible children who have a passion for life and a concern for others.

How Do I Enroll My Child?

If your child is 3-5 years old and fully potty trained (wears underwear, communicates the need to use the bathroom, and can ask for assistance if needed) and you are interested in enrolling your child or would like more information, please complete the registration form. Please note, children that turn five before September
