Our goal is to ensure our children grow through play and imagination in a safe and nurturing environment. Following these beliefs will help our children develop physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
When selecting a daycare, you should feel completely at ease and know that your child will be ultimately cared for by professionals you trust. Through strong parent partnerships, Early Learning Children’s Academy will meet the individual needs of each child in our daycare programs.
Enrollment at ELCA is open to children from 6 weeks through school age. Initial enrollment begins with the completion of a registration form and payment of the registration fee. Prior to the child’s first day all necessary enrollment packet forms must be returned to the center director. These forms can be obtained from the director or downloaded from the links below.

Since my daughter started here it has been a beautiful thing. I feel so warm and safe with my daughter being in their care.
Hi!!! I just wanted to reach out and thank you all very much for all that you did for my child this summer! She really loved going there and will miss the staff! Thanks again for everything and good luck this school year. ♥️
Last day at ELCA and the end of the summer carnival. After 3 1/2 years together, I cannot even put into words how special this place has been to us over the last few years! You worked tirelessly through a pandemic and helped keep this space the sense of normalcy our children needed. The staff has become family and we cannot thank you all enough for loving our child like one of your own, nurturing her, helping her be the best version of herself, and preparing her for her next big chapter! Our child quite frankly grew up here and we are going to miss you all so much, this is not goodbye, just see you later! Our family loves you very much! Kindergarten here we come!
I love the staff and I even love the new location! We struggled at first, but I am glad to say that they made us feel right at home.
I have been taking my children to ELCA at Springfield for almost seven years. I always feel confident that when I leave my children in the center’s care, that they are safe and will be treated well and have fun! I would vouch for my children’s teachers and the director at ELCA any day
My son was in the pre-k class and absolutely loved it! The teacher Miss Diane has been there for a long time and is so loved by all. My son learned so much and had an amazing time there with new friends. This place comes highly recommended by other moms locally and now I see why!
I changed jobs and we moved to Doylestown from the Philadelphia suburbs. I was nervous about finding a new daycare for my nine-month-old, and feel so fortunate to have found ELCA-Buckingham! The teachers have decades of experience and care so much about their job and kids. It’s impressive. The center is also very transparent with excellent communication. We actually started with ELCA right smack in the middle of the Omicron surge, and the director handled the difficult situation smoothly and professionally. My daughter used to get sick from her prior daycare all the time, but at ELCA I believe she’s gone the longest stretch without illness, only to be broken by a possible cold from Dad! We feel that our daughter is in excellent care, and would definitely recommend ELCA!
I was so sad and terrified to send my baby girl to daycare, but it ended up being the greatest thing. As an infant, I would definitely annoy her teachers with texts throughout the day (we LOVE Ms. Alex!!), but they’d always happily respond and send pictures. My daughter loved going to “school” and would run in every day, wave/hug all of her friends, and hardly even say goodbye to us. She learned so much; I was amazed every week at all of the new things she was grasping. Truly, all of the teachers we’ve encountered have been great (I really do think they love their students), so I can’t do anything but praise them.
I was super nervous when my baby first started here a few months ago because he had only been home with family. Never did I imagine the love and village were just the same here as at home. They treat EVERY kid as if it’s their own. I am so happy to drop my son off knowing he is in good hands. From the wonderful staff at the front door to the teachers who show nothing but patience with my baby boy. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOU DO DAILY!
This means so much to us as a family to know that our daughter is loved and supported at school as well as at home.
