The Early Learning Academy

MISSION STATEMENT

We strongly believe education
is a partnership between family,
school and church.

Understanding that everyone learns
at a different pace, we strive
to challenge each child
to reach their full potential.
Growing together academically,
socially and spiritually, we provide
each child a well-rounded foundation,
which leads to a lifetime of success.

‘What is learned with pleasure
is learned full measure.”

The Early Learning Academy is a Christian-based registered ministry of Hope Baptist Church and Chapel Hill Christian School.
The ELA staff implements the Reggio Emilia curriculum to engage children in a comfortable learning atmosphere while challenging them to their full potential.
Our students learn through self-directed playtime, as well as, large and small group interaction. Equipping the classroom to meet the needs and spark the curiosity of children, we address learning areas such as language arts, mathematics, science, social skills and much more.
Students at The ELA also participate in Art, Science & History Fair, field trips, good citizenship, personal character development, inspiring daily classroom Bible instruction. K-4 students also participate in weekly chapel services.

You may direct your questions and set up an appointment to tour our facility

The Early Learning Academy seeks to employ knowledgeable teaching staff that love children and enjoy helping them grow and thrive!
Many of our teachers are certified CDAs (Child Development Associates), while several others are in CDA training.
Our faculty participates in up-to-date educational growth and training throughout the year.
Our goal at the ELA is to be the early learning facility that nurtures children in the love of the Lord and has the most caring and qualified staff around.
ELA teachers are here, not only because they are qualified, but because they sincerely care about kids!
