Our Vision:  To provide a Christian, loving, safe, educational, dependable, professional daycare for our church body and surrounding community.

Our Commitment:  To the sovereign will of God, to serve in excellence, to rise up and provide for this great need in our community, and to provide the loving are that every child is worth of, just as Josiah Lingren was given and in whose memory we dedicate our service.

Our Staff:  Our Staff consists of loving, dependable, well-trained and experienced mothers, educated teachers, and daycare workers.  Our Director, a mother of three, has her B.S. Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education, and has experience in daycare center management and home daycare.  Our staff is hired as much for their character as for their experience.

Parent Visits:  We welcome parents to stop in at any time to visit their children.  Visiting the classroom helps parents get to know teachers and other children, and lets you keep in touch with your child's world.  Part of good communication is personal contact, which is why we encourage paents to stop by any time they wish.  We also have a cry room next to our infant room for mothers who wish to nurse on their lunch hour.

Reserved Space Fee:  Parents wishing to reserve space for their child for enrollment at a later date may do so by completing the necessary paperwork, payment of the registration fee, and payment of one of the following:  (a) 2-8 weeks in advance, payment for two weeks' service, or (b) 9-12 weeks in advance, payment for four week's service.  By this method space my be reserved months in advance.  There will be no refunds if enrollment is not completed or is cancelled.

Holidays:  We will be closed on New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, and Christmas Day.  Should a holiday fall on a Saturday, we will be closed on Friday.  If a holiday falls on a Sunday, we will be close on Monday.  Holidays are still paid days.  Holidays that would be normal work days for part-time customers are charged days.

Tuition & Fees:  Payments are due weekly on Mondays.  Please call us for current rates or more details.  Initial registration fee is $45 per child or $60 per family.  Two security key cards are included with this fee.  Paperwork must be updated annually thereafter, with a $25 annual renewal fee.
