New Holland Early
Learning Center
​
The Center, which was started in 1981
as a ministry of New Holland Mennonite Church,
has grown to more than 100 children.
​
Mission and Vision
In an age of broken homes, single parent households,
and increasing stress on family life, we believe we have a
responsibility as a church to assist families in the care of children.
• We believe a center where children are assured safe and healthful care and where all aspects of development and growth are promoted can contribute to happier and stronger family relationships.
• We believe it is consistent with our Christian faith to have a qualified and caring staff who is available for counsel and encouragement to parents in times of need.
• We believe family life can be strengthened through the opportunity to instill in children values of love, compassion, trust, race and ethnic understanding, and belief in God."
​
Our Goals
• To instill in the children values of love, compassion, trust, tolerance, ethical understanding and belief in God.
• To help children live in harmony with other children and value the rights and feelings for each other.
• To encourage communication between home and the Center so that parents and teachers are partners in the children's experience.
• To design a program that meets children at their developmental level and changes according to individual and group needs and interests.
• To help children accept the limitations of themselves and others.
