Seabrook Adventist Early Learning Center, Glenarden

"The Seabrook Adventist Early Learning Center provides a safe, nurturing, and fulfilling Christian educational environment for the holistic development of children between the ages of two and five years old. Each school day provides an opportunity to promote the emotional, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual environment that our children need for today's changing world. Our dedicated staff is committed to creating a memorable learning atmosphere. Through the development of age appropriate knowledge and skills, each child will discover, use, and further develop his or her God-given gifts, talents and potential."  The mission of the Seabrook Adventist Early Learning Center is to experience learning through meaningful play. Young children learn by manipulating, questioning, creating, observing, exploring, experimenting, interacting, and by using their senses. We provide both formal and informal experiences throughout each day that promotes these types of learning.  Our experienced teaching staff understands how children learn and develop. They will offer guidance, assistance and encouragement, and provide developmentally appropriate learning materials and experiences. We believe that parents are partners and value open communication and collaboration. We recognize the uniqueness of each child and will provide experiences that are relevant to each child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual needs, helping each student make progress. It is our desire to provide a warm, loving Christian environment where each child feels secure, happy, and where learning is meaningful and fun!We are very proud of our teaching staff at The Seabrook Adventist Early Learning Center. Our teaching staff members have many years experience in early childhood education. We support ongoing training for staff members so they continue to grow professionally and provide the best possible education for our children. The staff regularly participates in conferences, workshops, classes, and outside school observations. The primary goal of our Before & After Care program is create a safe community for children. This program includes snacks, homework support, indoor and outdoor play and other activities for children to enjoy before or after school. We provide an environment for your child/children to grow through self-guided and structured play. In addition to fostering imagination, this challenges children to expand their social, emotional and intellectual abilities. The Before & After Care program follows the regular Center's calendar. When the Center is closed, the program is closed. When the Center is open for any part of the day, the program is open.
