The whole child, not just the alphabet

Our mission

Southridge Early Learning Center exists to expand the mission of Southridge Church, proclaiming the life-giving news of Jesus, to our Center's children and their families.
Bible-based learning sits alongside the everyday work of growing up, in rooms small enough that every child is recognized at the door. Brigetta Guelker directs the center.

Questions parents ask

Before you tour
Do we have to attend the church?

No. In fact, most of our students are not members when we first meet them. At the same time, you are more than welcome to attend if or when the desire arises. We do prepare the children to lead a song or two every other month during the worship service. Children are not required to participate, but most do and it is a major highlight of the service.

What ages does the center serve?

Children ages 2.5 to 6 years old. Children must be potty trained by the start of school.

What hours are available?

Morning runs 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, school day runs 6:00 AM to 3:00 or 4:00 PM, and all day runs 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, two to five days a week.

Where is the center?

At Southridge Church, 3315 S Sherman Street, Kennewick, WA 99338. Families come from across the Tri-Cities.
