CELA is designed as a private preschool and early-learning academy. Our program combines developmentally appropriate academics, purposeful play, whole-child development, Christian character and age-appropriate leadership experiences.

Families seeking full-day enrollment may choose our extended program while still receiving the educational foundation of the CELA preschool experience.

For many young children, a concentrated three-hour preschool experience provides meaningful opportunities for instruction, play, relationships, movement and exploration while preserving flexibility for family schedules.

CELA intentionally develops both academic foundations and the learning behaviors associated with school readiness. Because children develop individually, we do not promise identical outcomes for every student. Our goal is for each child to demonstrate meaningful growth and leave CELA increasingly prepared for the expectations of kindergarten.

CELA's primary tuition structure reflects the cost of delivering a high-quality, intentionally small educational program. Any founding-family benefits, scholarships or limited enrollment incentives will be communicated when available.

No. CELA is located on the Compel Family Life Center campus and is rooted in Christian values, but enrollment is open to families seeking the educational experience and school culture CELA provides.

CELA is a Christian preschool, and biblical principles are incorporated into the school's culture and educational experience. Families from a variety of backgrounds may find CELA to be a welcoming community when they are comfortable with and supportive of the school's Christian identity.
