A Place to Grow at Every Age
Growing with your child from infancy through Pre-K.
Every child grows at their own pace, and we’re here for each step of the journey. From the earliest weeks of life through kindergarten readiness, our classrooms provide nurturing care, joyful learning experiences, and Christ-centered encouragement designed for each stage of development.
Gentle Beginnings
Infants • 6 Weeks–16 Months
Your baby’s days are filled with loving care, individualized routines, sensory exploration, songs, stories, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Our teachers partner closely with parents to provide a safe, nurturing environment where little ones begin discovering God’s love through caring relationships.
Busy Hands. Curious Hearts.
Toddlers • 16 Months–3 Years
Toddlers learn through play, exploration, and connection. Daily experiences in music, movement, art, outdoor play, and faith help build confidence, independence, language, and friendships.
Learning Through Discovery
Preschool • 3–4 Years
Through purposeful play, Bible stories, creative expression, sensory exploration, science, and outdoor adventures, preschoolers develop socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually in a caring community.
Ready for Kindergarten—and Beyond
Pre-K • 4–5 Years
Our oldest learners strengthen early literacy, phonemic awareness, math readiness, problem-solving, and independence while continuing to grow in faith, preparing them for a confident start in kindergarten.
