Programs

Precious People Early Learning Center was founded in 1997. We are one of a kind and we have intentionally stayed small. We pride ourselves on establishing personal connections with families and giving each child the love and attention they need to blossom and grow. A variety of age-appropriate enrichment activities bring in our external partners to bring extracurricular stimulus for our students.

Children in our Chipmunk classroom are given the tender loving care they need to smoothly transition from home to school. They learn what it means to be part of a group.
