When a small group of church members at Stratham Community Church in Stratham, NH wanted to turn a large unused classroom wing at the church into an early childhood education center, the executive committee and church members backed them. The Stratham Circle Learning Center (SCLC) opened a few months later with enrollment filling up quicker than anyone imagined. SCLC offers pre-school classes, an after-school program and summer camp program. Several families of current or past SCLC students regularly attend the church and a few have joined.
