Welcome to Grace Lutheran Early Childhood Center

 in Pocatello, ID!

GLECC is a part of three institutions encompassing Grace Lutheran, Pocatello.  Grace Lutheran Church, Grace Lutheran School, and us!  GLECC has 52 full time preschoolers starting at age two.  Our extended care program currently has 85 kindergarten-6th graders enrolled.  We have had a fabulous school year, and are gearing up for our awesome summercare program.  On the agenda: Soccer Camp, Art Camp, swimming lessons, gymnastics, rock climbing, disc golf, hiking adventures and more!  We are also looking forward to the month of July where we team up with Grace Lutheran Church for Pandamania 2011 Vacation Bible School.  We are expecting over 200 kids from the school and surrounding community.  We have 25 staff members dedicated to providing a Christ centered environment for our students and teaching them the love of Christ through our interactions with each child. 

We love our kids!  

"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV
