About the Provider
The purpose of The Learning Zone is to support families of the church and the community by teaching their children biblical values. We also strive to stimulate their minds through academic teaching, arts, crafts, music, Bible stories, and gym time. Our ultimate goal is to encourage each child to develop an awareness of God's love through Jesus Christ and to learn to give and accept love in a Christ-like manner.
It is our desire that every family that comes through the doors of Southland Community Church may have their lives enhanced through the love of Christ, and that we may show them how to experience life as great as God intended it to be.
