The Power of Play. The Love of Family. The Importance of Faith.

At Calvary Early Learning, these aren't just words—they're the foundation of everything we do. We believe children learn best through meaningful play, strong partnerships with families, and a Christ-centered environment where every child is known, loved, and encouraged to grow.

• Partner with families and fellow educators to build a caring, faith-centered community.
• Exhibit a growth mindset by continually seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and support the mission of Calvary Church.

• Plan and implement meaningful, play-based learning experiences that support each child's overall development.
• Observe children's growth and document progress using assessment tools.

• Participate in indoor and outdoor activities and perform the physical demands of caring for young children, including lifting up to 40 pounds and regularly bending, stooping, climbing, carrying, and standing for extended periods.
