Our Schools
Early Learning Center RI
Our fully inclusive school for children 6 weeks – 5 years.
Where every child learns, plays and grows together
Our fully inclusive Early Learning Center – or ELC – welcomes children ages 6 weeks to 5 years who are looking for a warm, safe, nurturing and curriculum-rich environment. Here, educators encourage play, imagination and problem-solving skills through thought-provoking activities designed to support your child’s development.
Located on Meeting Street’s Providence campus, the newly constructed ELC features infant, toddler and preschool classrooms, along with a sensory integration gymnasium, large multi-lingual and multi-modal young learners library and a secure outdoor playground.

“During the past 4 years, I could not be more grateful for the level of expertise, care, and commitment Meeting Street’s Early Learning Center has shown my family. The staff are knowledgeable, warm, and highly responsive.
