Children learning at Cross View ECC

Welcome to the Cross View Family

Since 1987, Cross View Early Childhood Center has partnered with families to provide exceptional early care and education in a safe, nurturing, Christ-centered environment.

As a ministry of Cross View Lutheran Church, we believe every child is uniquely created by God, deeply loved by Him, and filled with incredible potential.

At Cross View ECC, our goal is to provide more than excellent care—we strive to create a place where children flourish academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually while parents find encouragement, support, and trusted partners.

Our Mission

Growing loving followers of Jesus Christ through early care and education.

Faith is woven into daily life through caring interactions, classroom conversations, Bible lessons, prayer, music, and weekly chapel. Children experience the love of Jesus in meaningful, age-appropriate ways every day.

Learning Through Play and Discovery

Children learn best when they are actively exploring the world around them. Our classrooms are filled with opportunities to create, investigate, imagine, collaborate, and discover.

Our play-based curriculum encourages growth in every area of development while fostering curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.

Partnering with Families

We believe the strongest foundation for a child’s growth is built when parents and teachers work together.

Our staff values open communication, meaningful relationships, and genuine partnership with every family. Whether celebrating milestones, navigating challenges, or sharing the joys of each day, we consider it a privilege to walk alongside parents during these important early years.
