We have 4 classrooms that run year round.
In the summer, and during school vacations, we also offer a school age program for children 6 – 12 years old.
The staff at the Learning Center provide a nurturing and caring environment while helping the
children learn through play in a variety of activities. We strive to maintain the highest quality administration, staff, and curriculum that will encourage all aspects of a child’s development, including spiritual, social, physical, emotional, and intellectual growth.

The children in our program will have a fun-filled summer while also working on maintaining their academic skills.
Jesus Loves the Little Children!
At St. John’s Learning Center, we believe that children are a gift from God and should be gently guided with love and care. We know that God has appointed parents as the primary instructors of their children; therefore, the staff works with the parents to offer quality learning opportunities for the children. We utilize One in Christ religious curriculum and give the children opportunities to grow in their faith each day. All classes pray together before meals, read Bible stories, and learn religious songs, while the preschool class also attends a weekly Chapel session led by our pastor. While in our care, they are taught that they are a child of God and that His love for them is never-ending.
