Southeast Early Learning Center is owned and operated by the Bedford Church of the Nazarene.
We are a childcare facility that provides a safe and nurturing environment for children which will encourage them to grow and develop socially, intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
We have qualified staff to provide pre-school, pre-kindergarten and before and after school care for children of all races, nationalities and religions.
While diverse beliefs and religions will be respected, the atmosphere and spiritual objectives are distinctly Christian, seeking to follow the model of Jesus Christ.
Christian cultural and religious values will be shared with all children through stories, songs, simple prayers and weekly chapel services.
