Education that lasts beyond a lifetime
CLASSROOMS
Bethany Lutheran Early Learning Center offers two preschool classrooms, Yellow Room and Blue Room, both licensed for 20 students. These classrooms provide inviting atmospheres for learning, structured routines, and caring teachers.
Students are able to extend their learning outside on our two playgrounds. Bethany Lutheran Early Learning Center's front playground allows for climbing, swinging, and running, while the back playground gives opportunities for bike riding and imaginative play.
