I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Absolutely love Morgantown ELF. Our daughter began here once she was two and has prevailed ever since. She’s excited to go every morning and brings home daily sheets telling us what was done so we can ask her about her day. The director is super friendly and always interacts with us when we enter. Place feels like family, and our son will definitely be going once he turns two as well.

Horribly managed, and half the teachers speak worse grammar than my children do. We found much better care for our children, and I recommend anyone who is reading this to do the same. I wouldn't even leave my dog there. Trust me, you have better options for day care in Morgantown.

About the Provider

Advertisement
At Morgantown Early Learning Facility, our commitment is to provide a child care experience which conveys a level of distinction that continually exceeds expectations and demonstrates excellence through every component of our program.

Our staff is dedicated to the mission of ensuring that extensive opportunities are available in order to educate the whole child. Our curriculum format not only focuses on the academic development of each student, but rather it expands on their experience in order to cultivate the children emotionally, socially, physically and nutritionally.


ELF, due to operating as a non-profit corporation, supplements tuition in a variety of ways. Fundraising is a vital part of ELF. There are numerous fundraising opportunities throughout the year such as spaghetti dinners, carnivals and school supply drives. This allows us to provide a quality educationally based environment that our parents expect for their children.

The overall operation of ELF is administered through a Board of Directors. This leadership team consists of a combination of parents, teachers and staff from all four components of our program. Elections are conducted each Fall to fill vacancies. Members generally serve a term of three years.
