Welcome to Our School Family

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

First and foremost, thank you for considering Grace Lutheran Early Childhood Development Center. Choosing the right place for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your child in the care of others, and we are honored that you are considering becoming part of our school family.

At Grace Lutheran ECDC, our highest priority is to provide every child with a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where they can learn, develop, and grow. We believe each child is a precious gift from God—uniquely created with purpose, value, and endless potential.

Our classrooms are filled with opportunities for discovery, creativity, laughter, and learning. Through hands-on experiences, meaningful relationships, and intentional teaching, we help children grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Our desire is for every child to develop confidence, kindness, independence, and a love of learning that will remain with them for years to come.

Faith is woven into everything we do. Through daily prayer, daily Jesus Time, weekly chapel, Bible lessons, and acts of love and compassion, children are reminded that they are deeply loved by God and by the teachers who care for them each day.

We also believe that strong partnerships with families are essential. When parents and teachers communicate and work together, children thrive. Our desire is not only to care for your child, but also to walk alongside your family and support you throughout these important early years.

Grace Lutheran ECDC is licensed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services and has achieved Level 4 certification through Arkansas Better Beginnings. Better Beginnings is a voluntary quality-rating and improvement system for licensed child care and early education programs. While minimum licensing requirements primarily address health and safety, Better Beginnings looks beyond those standards to evaluate the elements that create high-quality early childhood experiences.

All our teachers are certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED procedures and complete a minimum of 25 hours of continuing education each year. We are open year-round to help meet the needs of today’s busy families.

Thank you again for considering Grace Lutheran ECDC. We would love the opportunity to welcome your family, answer your questions, and share more about our ministry and school community. We pray for God’s guidance and blessings over your family as you make this important decision.

Please feel free to call us at (501) 663-0755 or email ecdc@gracelutheranlr.org with questions or to learn about the first steps toward enrollment.

Serving Him and His children,
