Overview
Early childhood is a magical time! Learning begins at birth and a well-rounded early childhood education can nurture caring, capable, and responsible citizens.
St. Louis Park’s Early Learning Program offers two options for children ages birth to five: ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) and Early Learning Preschool. With a focus on the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of children, we offer flexible options for busy families. Developing strong family and teacher partnerships is at the center of our practice. We know that these successful school experiences and trusting relationships with teachers and classmates can echo positively throughout a child’s life. Join us as your child embarks on this exciting journey toward a lifelong love of learning! To learn more, contact Erika Scott at 952-928-6778.
The Central Early Learning Center is located at 6300 Walker Street, St. Louis Park, 55416. The main entrance is at Door 3.

Minnesota Department of Health Immunization Form
The Minnesota School Immunization Law requires that all students enrolled in PreK-Grade 12 show they have received certain immunizations or an exemption. Schools are required to report immunization dada to MDH each year through the Annual Immunization Status Report. Students may not begin ECFE or Preschool without submitting an up-to-date immunization form or a immunization exemption form.
Are your kids ready? Use this chart as a guide to determine which vaccines are required to enroll in child care, early childhood programs, and school (online, home school, public, or private). Find the child’s age/grade level and look to see if your child had the number of shots shown by the checkmarks under each vaccine. The table on the back shows the ages when doses are due.
Click here for an immunization form that can be filled out by you or your child’s doctor. We will also accept the doctor’s version of this form. Immunization forms can be faxed to us at 952-928-6728. Families who choose not to immunize must turn in a notarized exemption form. Click here and scroll to page 2 for the exemption form.
This form is due before your child’s first day of school. Students whose immunization forms have not been turned in may not stay in class until the form is submitted.
