The Areas Best Pre-School

Welcome

Center for Early Learning is, and always has been, different from traditional preschools. Several key differences in our approach to preparing children for life-long learning set us apart.

CEL offers morning and afternoon classes throughout the Fall/Spring school year. These classes are divided into three age-specific programs.
