Child care
At Childtime, your child gets what he or she needs to develop their best mind, their love of learning, their personality, their bright future. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, central to our educational philosophy is the belief that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults provide the basis for all learning. Staff and teachers, and the relationships children develop with them, are vital for learning, for trust, and for independence. Our approach is designed to help them grow as students and people, in school, and in life beyond.

Mary G. says "We love this center. Everyone is so caring and loving. My daughter is always happy to come and she loves her teachers! They love to share activities and...

We understand the importance of reading, writing, and mathematics, and we also understand that students benefit greatly from project-based and hands-on learning. Therefore, we utilize a hybrid learning model: students receive academic instruction in the morning, and they do hands-on and project-based learning in the afternoons. We utilize traditional curriculum, because we know that it works, but we also offer students the ability to move around, worship God, do art projects, get messy, build things, get curious, and run around outside. Our students are learning about Jesus, reading authentic literature, doing traditional mathematics, building boats, asking questions, getting sweaty, writing stories, singing worship songs, and laughing. They should come home feeling brilliant, accomplished, curious, and full of stories; and they should want to go back to school the next day and do it all over again.

Brianna G. says " Light of Christ has a very low student: teacher ratio. The three-year-old classroom has 14 children and 3 teachers; the four-year-old classrooms have 2...

I am a stay-at-home mom of four children, ages 9 to 17, and I have been caring for children in my home since 2001. All the families whose children I care for become a small extension of our own family, it is more than just a job for me. I have made some of my best friends in the parents, and have cried when I have seen children go off to their first day of school. I do preschool crafts that emphasize pre-kindergarten skills five days a week for the children ages 2 and older in my care. I am certified in CPR, have a fingerprint card, and 13+ years of experience. I have many references (former and current parents) available and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. My hours are Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the rate of $150 a week which includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, juice, milk and all preschool and craft supplies. My morning hours are flexible, but the afternoon hours are firm due to sports that my children participate in. Currently, I have 2 openings for full-time care.

At "The Growing Place Preschool" we recognize that children are unique and learn at different rates and in different ways. We provide a diverse curriculum that is child-centered with hands-on exploration. Many schools place children in age segregated classrooms. The Growing Place Preschool believes in multi-aged groupings where children from ages 1 to 2 for toddlers and 3 to 5 for preschool share the same classroom. This practice has many advantages including: Children gain experience interacting with others whose abilities and skills differ from their own, much like adults do. Children develop long term quality relationships with their teachers Learning is based on the individual, so no class levels are evident, therefore children are not held back, or rushed into the next class Enhanced self-esteem and effective learning from peer inter-dependence and modeling.

Amber N. says "I had wonderful experience. My son was already starting to read when he entered Kindergarten. They are interactive with lots of activities. "
