ABOUT US
Play. Think. Reason. Question. Experiment. These are just a few of the skills and qualities that children will develop at Mountain Valley ELC. Each child's time here is designed to adequately nurture their emotional and intellectual growth. Through stimulating activities and hands-on learning opportunities, young children are free to develop into bright young minds. We have a wonderful yard space and put a great deal of emphasis on outdoor learning. We do outdoor activities every day with all ages, unless it is below 10 degrees. We serve extra healthy meals that are mainly homemade to keep them as nutritious as possible.
