Our Programs

We offer programs for children ages 6 weeks to 3 years (Three years old by September 1 of the current year). A twelve-month program is taught which combines the Wee Learn and A Beka Curriculum. Weekly schedules and plans for educational activities are available upon request. The child will be promoted to the next age group as deemed appropriate by the Center Director. 

We offer programs for children ages 3-5 years (by September 1 of the current year). A ten-month kindergarten program is available for three, four, and five-year-olds. The A Beka Curriculum will be used for these classes. All 3-5-year-olds will be required to be enrolled in their age-appropriate kindergarten program as well as daycare.

Summer Camp

Summer is on its way! Selecting Summer care is no easy task and we are excited that you've chosen us. Our summer program is designed to give your child an exciting and safe summer under the supervision of experienced leadership.

For Summer we would like for your child to try things that are new and challenging. We plan weekly field trips and age-appropriate activities as well as have daily bible time. Most of all we want them to have fun and enjoy themselves and just be kids.

Early learning center Staff

Ridgecrest Christian Academy Early Learning Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religious background or national origin. While we welcome all children, school staffing will determine if the center will be able to meet the needs of a Special Needs Child. It is our desire to work with parents to provide the best possible away from home care.
