Calvary Care Early Learning Center

Calvary Care Early Learning Center is an outreach ministry of Calvary United Methodist Church. As such, we recognize the importance of raising children with Christian values.

We opened our preschool in 1975 and our school-age care program 1982. Both programs were founded to provide a “Safe Nurturing Christian Environment” for children of working parents. Our goal is to constantly stimulate children with wholesome and constructive activities, projects, home-work assistance, kindness and understanding. We are an equal opportunity care provider.

With the ever-changing needs of our community, we have grown and evolved to official became Calvary Care Early Learning Center in 2024. We now offer full-time, year-round childcare services with morning classes set in preschool/pre-K format, before & after school care for Governor Mifflin students, and an extraordinary summer camp for toddlers though 5th graders.
