Our congregation’s principal outreach program is the Salem Lutheran Children’s Center (SLCC). Originally established by Salem in 1974 as a nursery school, SLCC has faithfully evolved to meet the growing childcare and early education needs of families throughout Jarrettsville and our surrounding communities. Today, this vital ministry is a non-profit, Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) approved center that provides a warm, loving Christian environment. We are blessed to serve close to 200 students annually, offering child-centered preschool, a daycare program, before- and after-school care for elementary students (K–5th grade), and engaging summer camps. Safely situated directly across from Jarrettsville Elementary School, SLCC partners intentionally with local families to cultivate a lifelong love of learning, support early childhood development, and build a foundation of spiritual growth, honesty, and compassion.
