We have been blessed to have our child attend there.

Philosophy

We are a Christ centered program that believes in having exploration as well as structure to ensure the best program possible for all those who attend.

About our program

Our program is small, which allows for more one on one attention. We also value the Lutheran faith in our program with daily Jesus Time and Chapel on Wednesdays with Pastor Benson from Bethlehem Lutheran Church as well as Pastor Toensing from St. John’s in Kramer. It is so amazing to see how these children are all friends with each other as well as their love for Jesus. We definitely have one of the best programs around!
