Welcome to Emmanuel Learning Academy
At ELA, our mission is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where young children can grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We aim to build lasting relationships within our community, grounded in kindness and respect.
Our vision is to create a welcoming space where children and their families feel supported and connected. Through our engaging curriculum and programming, we strive to inspire a love for learning and a commitment to helping others. Following Indiana Academic Standards, we blend learning with play in a way that encourages exploration and prepares kids for both life and school.
The goals of ELA’s caring staff and experienced teachers are:
Fostering a Love for Learning - Helping children explore and discover through fun and engaging activities.
Creating Community - Building a supportive network for families within our school and church community.
Whole Child Growth - Support children's emotional, social, and intellectual development with a balanced curriculum.
Instilling Core Values - Teach kindness, respect, and compassion in everyday activities.
Encouraging Parent Participation - Encourage parents to be active in their children's learning journey.
Helping Others - Involve families in community service projects to teach the importance of giving and helping others.
Providing a Safe Environment - Ensure a safe and loving place where children can thrive.
Continuous Improvement - Regularly updating our programs to better serve our children and families.
Promoting Inclusivity - Welcome children from all backgrounds, making sure everyone feels valued and included.
We’d love to show you around our school and meet you and your child.
