Manchester Early Learning Center

The Manchester Early Learning Center (MELC) has been an integral part of the childcare community of Manchester since 1976, offering programs in both preschool and before-and-after-school settings.

The Manchester Early Learning Center is a non-profit community-based organization providing quality and affordable early childhood and after-school experiences, and care of children and their families.

We believe that all children benefit from the company of others. We provide many opportunities for children to learn through socialization with both peers and adults. We provide opportunities for children to explore, create, move and play while learning and forming valuable friendships.

We see our program as a part of the child's extended family. We work with parents to provide the very best care for their children, and encourage family involvement in all aspects of our program.
