About Us

ELNS is a religiously exempt 1/2 day preschool program (8:45-noon) with optional programs which make it possible for students to extend the day from 8am-3pm. We are NOT a day care but rather a school that is rooted in Christian values and offers a play-based learning environment. It is our goal to help students follow their curiosity and to develop a life-long love of learning.
