Our ________ states: University Baptist Early Learning Center is a ministry of University Baptist Church. Our mission is to provide a high-quality program to the children and families that we serve in a Christian environment. We believe that children should learn through a variety of play and child-led and teacher-led activities. We feel that the most important job we have is to foster the growth of the whole child.
