The MSD of Steuben County Early Learning Center uses the Montessori method which focuses on the natural stages of child development of children ages 3-6 by preparing an environment that cultivates a desire to learn.  

The state of Indiana does not provide funding to school districts for pre-school programs. This program is funded completely through student tuition. Tuition will be charged at a rate of $160 per week. We are a licensed center to receive CCDF vouchers for those who are eligible.

Spaces are on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is a multi-step process.

Contact Jami Hubbard at the Early Learning Center to schedule an appointment to tour the school and complete your application.
