Martin Luther College Early Childhood Learning Center

The MLC Early Childhood Learning Center is a non-profit, college-run early childhood program for New Ulm area children ages 3-5. It exists as a service for families who desire an early learning experience for their children. It is state-licensed to serve 30 children. The center also exists to provide experiences for observation, participation, and student teaching by MLC early childhood education students.

The overall goal is to provide early learning experiences that assist parents in nurturing the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of their young children. We believe this goal can be reached when children learn by doingby hands-on, active experiences that are developmentally appropriate for young children. We further believe children develop best when all experiences occur in an atmosphere of Christian love and respect.

Specifically, these goals are accomplished:

with activities that exercise childrens bodies, with experiences and stories that encourage children to explore Gods world, to solve problems, and to express feelings, with a social environment that encourages children to play and talk with each other and with adults with teachers who recognize the individuality of each childs abilities and needs.
