Above all, your child will feel a true, shared love here. Throughout the day, we remind your child of your love for them as we care for them.

First, we partner with families to set nap and feeding schedules. In addition, we help develop communication skills like sign language and give feedback on gross motor development.

Secure attachment is important for a child’s social and emotional development. For this reason, our dedicated infant care staff work hard to build healthy, secure attachments and trust with each child.

When the weather is right, fresh air is a delight. So, we use several types of strollers to help our youngest children enjoy the outdoors and explore the local community around our campus.

Worship Celebration is a time of community and worship. Once a month, all childcare children, including our youngest, gather in the sanctuary to lift up prayer and songs of praise to honor and glorify our Lord.

From the earliest stages, your baby will learn to roll, sit, and crawl. Later, we introduce solids and encourage self-feeding, standing, and walking. Meanwhile, your child learns through play with other children under the watchful eyes of our loving staff. Finally, older infants who have mastered walking enjoy outdoor playtime daily in our courtyard play space.
