Creative Learning Center is a ministry of Second Baptist Church.
CLC seeks to glorify God through teaching, loving, and supporting young children and their families. We believe that each child is a unique creation of God, and our CLC staff members want to partner with parents to help children grow in every area of development. We strive for excellence in all that we do, and it is our desire to provide an exceptional experience for all staff, children, and families at CLC.

Preschool


We believe that experiences in the first 5 years become the building blocks for school readiness – both from a skills perspective, as well as positive relationships with adults and peers. We also believe that children learn best through developmentally appropriate activities and play. Our teachers are trained to use a resource from Teaching Strategies® called “Objectives for Development & Learning: Birth Through Kindergarten.” This resource guides teachers to better understand how each child is developing along a continuum. As teachers observe children in the classroom, they tailor the curriculum to meet each child’s individual needs.
CLC Preschool follows a school-year schedule, beginning late August and ending at the beginning of June. In addition, we offer a theme-based camp experience during July and August for children 12 months through entering Kindergarten. We follow the Henrico County Public Schools schedule for Winter Break and Spring Break.
We offer the following enrollment options:
- Morning Preschool 9:00am-12:00 noon
- Full-Day Preschool 7:45am-5:30pm
Classes Available (based on child’s age by September 30)
