About Our School
Brownstown Early Learning Ministry is in session from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday-Friday offering childcare, preschool and after school care. We strive to present God’s truth with excellence in everything we do. The mission of the Early Learning Ministry is to provide a program that is responsive to the changing needs of the children, parents, staff and community.
We provide excellent care in the areas of spiritual, physical, emotional, and developmental growth for each child in our childcare and preschool programs. We use Creative Curriculum in developing faith based lesson plans in each classroom, toddler – Pre-K, following the Indiana Early Learning Foundations. We offer daily Bible lessons and weekly chapel service, nutritious meals, learning activities, structured playtime, and outdoor activities as part of that mission.
Our Goal
Deliver a rich experience of quality time spent in building relationships, learning and playing together in a manner consistent with BCC ELM’s commitment to help transform children and their families through the power of Christ.
For Children
We strive to maintain a safe, healthy and nurturing environment where the developmental needs of the children are addressed.
For Family
We strive to keep the program affordable, and available. It is our goal to serve as a resource for support and education.
For Staff
We strive to provide an atmosphere that will attract and retain well trained personnel, by maintaining good working conditions.
Toddler Classes
Ones & Twos
Our Early Childhood Program consists of children enrolled in the Ones and Twos Classrooms. Our toddlers learn through activities planned to meet their individual needs. Lesson plans are based on goals set by the Indiana Early Learning Foundations.
In both the Ones and Twos classrooms, teachers create weekly faith-based lesson plans designed for hands-on learning in all subject areas. The Ones Class (open to children 12 months old and walking, who do not still use a bottle) supports children’s language development through targeted activities and through play. We encourage children as they begin to learn simple self-help skills, such as drinking from a cup and using a spoon. In our Twos Classes, teachers continue to support children’s cognitive, social, spiritual, and physical development while beginning the process of potty training. To transition into our Preschool, children must be three years old and potty trained.
Little Learners
Preschool
BCC ELM’s Preschool includes Threes, Fours, and PreK classes. We are excited to join you in encouraging your child to grow mentally, physically, emotionally, developmentally, socially and spiritually. Our program is designed to accomplish these goals through: daily Bible lessons and weekly chapel service, age appropriate academics and curriculum, structured playtime and outdoor activities, nutritious meals, positive social interactions, and helping them to experience God’s presence in their life naturally each day.
After School
Elementary Children
Kids Connection is an after school program for elementary age children. Kids Connection is open after school until 6 PM. Transportation is provided through the Brownstown Central Community School Corporation transporting the children from BES and LC to the church via bus. We provide a snack, help with homework, have a Bible Lesson, Chapel on Thursday, practice life skill activities, and have free play time with our Elementary age children.
Building up the next generation
Teachers
Working with the next generation is a high calling, and our employees must meet the standards of BCC and the ELM to be entrusted with the children enrolled in our programs. All preschool teachers have had formal training in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a related field. All teachers, including infant and toddler teachers, have previous experiences working with groups of children and receive training focused on infants and toddlers. They have met licensing requirements, First Aid, CPR, Universal Precautions Training and receive formal training. All teachers are required to complete a criminal history and CPS history check prior to employment. All teachers are required to complete 12-20 hours of professional development. We encourage them to continue their education because the best teachers are always learning!
