Early Learning Center
Northlake’s Early Learning Center (ELC) provides a loving, caring, Christ-centered environment for our littlest Wolverines, ages 6 weeks to 3 years old.
ELC faculty are dedicated Christians who love the Lord and train children to grow in wisdom and stature, developing academic skills crucial for early childhood development. Christian-based curriculum gives children opportunities to discover the world God has created with fun and engaging activities, encouraging each child to grow and explore their individual interests and gifts.
