The NELC has convenient hours for parents’ work schedules. The NELC is open from 6:30am-6:00pm Monday-Friday.
Low Ratios allow the teacher to spend more time with individual children and to know more about their learning readiness and interests. It also creates a more comfortable environment for children.
The NELC meets health and safety standards to make sure your child is safe. The NELC is licensed by the MN Department of Human Services.
The NELC has knowledgeable teachers in the field of Early Childhood Education and developmentally appropriate practices. All teachers are Rule #3 certified and complete Professional Development training annually. All teachers are CPR and First Aid Certified.
