The EYLC began operating in 1977 as an outreach of Wesley Freedom Church. We minister to the needs of all our students by fostering their physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth.
Our goal is to provide a stimulating environment in which each child is free to explore and grow!
The EYLC is licensed by the Maryland Department of Education under the rules and regulations of the State of Maryland.
Our curriculum is planned to effectively meet the developmental needs of all the children we serve. Opportunities will be given to foster each child’s development as a part of a group.
Our goal is to encourage independence and to help each child develop a positive self-image and self-control.
