Early Education Center

Where Little Hearts Learn Big Truths

Your child's first school experience shapes how they see learning, relationships, and their place in the world.

Our Early Education Center has been supporting Kansas City families for over 30 years, providing a warm, faith-filled foundation for lifelong growth. Here, curiosity is encouraged, personalities are celebrated, and each child is gently introduced to God’s love in ways that feel natural and joyful.

Our Ministry to Young Families

Calvary Lutheran Church's Early Education Center serves children from 6 weeks through Pre-Kindergarten at both our Oak and Wornall campuses.

This ministry goes beyond childcare. Every day brings Christian education designed for the youngest learners. Caring teachers see each child as God's unique creation and invest accordingly. Weekly chapel time allows children to worship together and learn Bible stories in a joyful, age-appropriate way.

What Sets Us Apart

Christ-Centered Environment

God's love flows naturally through daily interactions that include prayers of gratitude, kind treatment of others, and shared wonder at the world around us. Children also participate in a Christmas program each year, where they joyfully act out the story of Jesus’ birth.

Research-Based
Learning

The Creative Curriculum and Conscious Discipline programs guide our approach. Our students develop academically and socially through age-appropriate methods proven to work.

Qualified, Caring
Staff

Directors and lead teachers bring bachelor's degrees in early childhood education plus genuine love for young children. Small teacher-to-child ratios ensure individual attention.

Circle time, creative play, music, and art projects fill each day alongside outdoor activities and quiet time. Young children learn naturally through this thoughtful balance of experiences.

God's love becomes woven throughout and flows through how we treat each other and approach learning together. Weekly chapel provides an opportunity for children to worship as a community.

Part of Something Bigger

Our families often form lasting friendships through the wonderful network of parents, caregivers, and teachers who walk this journey together. Many Early Education Center families also become part of our church community, and children often continue their Christian education through our K-8 school.

During these formative years, we offer more than excellent care and education. Your child receives a foundation of faith that can last a lifetime.
