Mission Statement

The mission of Elim Children’s Center is to provide high quality early care and education in a loving Christian environment. We believe in the importance of providing developmentally appropriate learning opportunities through play and teacher guidance to support social/emotional, physical, academic, and spiritual growth. We whole-heartedly believe that children should be allowed to be children. It is our hope that through our program children will gain confidence, independence, respect for others, and love for God.

Intergenerational Environment

ECC is located within Elim Care. We are lucky to be a part of this unique environment. Witnessing the authentic interactions between the residents and children is priceless. There are many opportunities to experience joy with the residents (grandmas and grandpas) through planned and spontaneous activities

Bright & Early North Dakota

Bright & Early North Dakota is an enhancement program for early childhood facilities. This program has 4 Steps each having different requirements a facility must meet. Having already achieved Step 1 and Step 2 we are currently working on Step 3. We are on goal to complete the requirements for Step 3 in December 2016.

Research tells us that the first years of a child’s life are vitally important in shaping their future health and development.
