Mission Hills Early Learning Center is dedicated to the spiritual, emotional, physical, social, and intellectual development of children through innovative education. We exist to influence a child’s world for God by creating experiences for preschoolers to grow spiritually and developmentally. We count it an honor and a privilege to share this vision with our families to give each child a healthy and positive start in their education.

Meet Our Teachers

The Nappos

“Thank you for teaching our kids God’s love and the strength that comes from above. At home we overheard our son singing Philippians 4:13 and our hearts could not be more overjoyed. What a gift MHELC has been to our family and I am sure we are not alone in witnessing the kingdom strengthen from your efforts. Many Blessings and Much Gratitude!”

Nikki Beach

“I just wanted to brag on our kids’ teacher and how wonderful she is. Our kids were going to miss a special event in the classroom, she saved their Charlie Brown Feast, Thanksgiving Hats and books read in class and delivered these to our house so they could still be a part of the happenings of their class. She offered instantly and it made me so happy, yet again, that we chose Mission Hills ELC and God gave us the right teacher!”

Kristyn, Rich, Everett, + Lynne Borger (Grandma)

“THANK YOU to our Director and our [son’s teachers] for caring for him with the same love that Jesus would give him. So thankful that he learns a Bible story and Bible verse, and a Virtue, and has a Family Challenge [each month]. Thank you for ALL you do and the LOVE you pour into all the children. It means a lot!”

Holly Young

“Our daughter runs to me when she gets home every day from school and says, “I love school!”  Holly Young

Mary Bloedow

“We love MHELC! The staff is always happy to see us and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. I like their safety procedures and feel so comfortable dropping off my 2-year-old there. She always loves going to class.”
