Welcome to the Chardon Early Learning Center (CELC)! We are so excited to be working with your children as they begin their educational journey in Pre-K and Kindergarten. At CELC, our goal is to create a warm, engaging environment where every child feels valued, supported, and ready to explore the world around them.

As we head into November, we continue to build a foundation of curiosity, kindness, and a love of learning. It’s inspiring to see how our young learners are blossoming, both academically and socially. Each day, they are gaining confidence, making new friends, and discovering the joy of learning through hands-on activities, exploration, and creativity.

November is a time for reflection and gratitude, and we are taking this opportunity to help our students understand the importance of kindness and community. Whether through sharing a “thank you,” working together on a class project, or simply offering a smile, our students are learning the value of small gestures that make a big difference in their lives and the lives of others.

We are grateful for the partnership we share with you, and our families, and we look forward to the many opportunities to celebrate this special time of year together. Please check this webpage for upcoming events, important announcements, and other ways to get involved in your child’s learning experience.

Thank you for being an integral part of our CELC family. We look forward to an amazing school year filled with growth, discovery, and the warmth of community.
