Our Director & Principal
Sarah Earhart
Hi, I am Ms. Sarah! I have been the Director of Concordia Learning Center since May of 2023. My two daughters have attended CLC since 2016 and we love this place! In early 2023, I was approached by Ms. Sue and Ms. Deanna regarding the position of Director, as Ms. Sue, our former director, was planning her retirement. The rest is history! I have enjoyed every day in this position since I started and I look forward to the many days and years to come. I love children and watching them learn has been a surprise reward in my new position. I am also excited to take on duties including managing our center’s staffing schedule and family wait list, as well as give tours to prospective families. Prior to working at CLC, I worked as a Registered Dietitian in worksite wellness and clinical settings for the past 17 years.
When I’m not at CLC, I can be found spending time with my family! Together we enjoy being outdoors, walking or biking to the neighborhood park, or curling up with a good book!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the learning center. I would love to give you a tour and answer any questions!

Hi, I am Principal Ms. Deanna and I have been with Concordia Lutheran Elementary (CLC) for 6 years. I have a background in elementary education, school counseling, and administration for over 15+ years. My husband and I decided to send our son, who at the time was 18 months old, to CLC because of the support, kindness of the staff, and overwhelming feeling that he would be well taken care of here. Our son is now 11 years old and continues to enjoy learning, his friends, his teachers, and all that takes place daily including having his sister join him as a 1st grader. Our family has all felt like CLC was part of who we are and has always made us feel like we belong to the whole CLC family.
When I do find free time, I enjoy watching the Dallas Cowboys with my husband Sterling, eating cheeseburgers and pizza, watching our two kids doing their things like football or gymnastics, and working out in our home gyms! I am also the kindergarten elementary teacher, upper grade math teacher, and I work closely with all staff, students, and families.
I am blessed to be here with my “family” daily.
Ms. Deanna
About Us
CLC is based on the firm foundation of God’s Word. A Christ-centered curriculum enables us to fulfill our objectives. All education achieves its highest purpose only if its aim is service to God and all creation.
The curriculum is prepared in accordance with Classical Lutheran Education through Memoria Press. Classical and Lutheran education can be defined simply as the liberal arts with Lutheran catechesis. The liberal arts cultivate the student’s mind and character with academic rigor, formative content, and tools for learning. Lutheran catechesis addresses matter of the child’s soul through the Holy Scriptures, Lutheran confessions, Lutheran liturgy, and Lutheran Hymnody. With the Seven Liberal Arts and the Small Catechism’s Six Chief Parts, classical and Lutheran education teaches for two kingdoms: an earthly kingdom and a heavenly kingdom.
Memoria Press exists to promote and impart the classical heritage of the Christian West. They do this through an emphasis on the liberal arts and the great works of the Western tradition. To achieve this goal, they have produced a comprehensive and accessible classical Christian curriculum that encourages the development of wisdom and virtue through a pursuit of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. Our motto is “Saving Western Civilization One Student at a Time” and expresses our passion for defending and transferring the culture of the Christian West through classical education.
Concordia Lutheran Elementary (CLC) is accredited through CCLE (Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education) and NLSA (National Lutheran School Accreditation) which makes us the only Lutheran school in the valley with dual accreditations.

Our children at CLC are loved and well taken care of as our caregivers are dedicated to their students and their growth edcuationally.

What Parents are Saying
Brittni Clark
Moving to Utah from out of state with no family made me nervous when finding care for our daughter. The minute we met Ms. Sue and the staff we knew we found our Utah family. The staff care for the kids just like their own children and are always doing fun activities, learning manners, and always learning new things with them. My daughter loves going to Concordia Learning Center every day. I love picking her up knowing she is just as loved there as she is at home. Can’t say enough nice things about CLC!
Natalie Neville
My children have been going to CLC (Concordia Learning Center) for almost 4 years and from day one they have loved going. CLC is more than a daycare/business it is a community. They focus not only on the school basics/fundamentals but also values and spirituality which are important to me. I feel at ease dropping off my children because I know they are in a safe, yet oh so FUN environment! All the teachers genuinely care and love children. You can tell by their smiling faces and attitudes that they enjoy and take pride in what they do.
Amy Maughan
I love CLC/HTLS and won’t send my daughter anywhere else! They are attentive, loving, and patient. My daughter has attended since she was three months old, and they have become true partners in helping me raise her. I have and will continue to recommend their child care services – the staff members are the best around!
