Panther Cubs Press

Dear Families,

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you and your child to the 2025–2026 school year at Luce Road Early Childhood Learning Center, home of the Panther Cubs! It is the place Where Little Panther Cubs Begin Big Journeys!

This year our school theme is inspired by The Magic School Bus and the famous words of Ms. Frizzle: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!” Every day will be filled with opportunities for curiosity, creativity, and discovery. We cannot wait to see where our adventures together will take us.

From Childcare to Kindergarten, our entire teaching team is ready to bring learning to life and turn each day into an adventure. Students will experience the joy of free choice time, the creativity of Intentional Play in the classrooms, and the wonder of a School Library experience designed around thematic and dramatic play learning.

At Luce Road, we believe every child is unique, capable, and full of potential. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment where your Panther Cub can thrive. We also believe in strong partnerships with families, knowing that when we work together our children soar.

We cannot wait to see the smiles, hear the laughter, and watch our Panther Cubs grow each and every day. Here’s to a year of learning, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories together as one Luce Road family.

Warm regards

Mr. Ernest Conerly

Principal/Program Director, Luce Road ECLC

We are excited to announce our teachers for this fall! This year, we have some new faces and we are excited they are joining our wonderful staff!

If you do not have your sign:

• If someone else is picking up your student, please inform the office. They will also need to park and show ID if they do not have the color sign with your student’s name on it.

We are happy to provide extra color signs—just stop by the office to request them.
