A Loving Start
for Little Ones
Our infant care program provides a safe and nurturing environment for your baby to explore the world around them. With one-on-one teacher interaction and sensory-based learning activities, we ensure every child receives personalized attention to support their growth and development.
Encouraging Exploration
and Independence
Our toddler care program is designed to help children develop their independence while building social and emotional skills. Through hands-on learning, engaging activities, and a focus on self-discovery, your child will thrive in a structured yet fun environment.
Preparing for School
and Beyond
Our preschool care program helps children get ready for kindergarten with a curriculum focused on early literacy, math, and social interaction. Our experienced staff ensures your child is well-prepared for the next step in their educational journey, fostering a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Rooted in Faith,
Guided by Love
We are a ministry of Holy Emmanuel Lutheran Church, and our prayer is that every child in our care will grow to know and love their personal Savior, Jesus Christ. As it says in the book of Mark 10:14, “Let the little children come to Me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Through faith and love, we help children grow spiritually while nurturing their creativity and character.
