We opened our first center in July 2016. To fulfill the needs of our community, we opened our second center in March 2018. We are subsidy vendors through Virginia Department of Social Services, members of the Orange Chamber of Commerce, and part of Virginia’s Department of Education’s Linkb5 program.
With two easily accessible locations, we ensure that your family receives the highest level of attention and support, whether for ongoing care or short-term needs. Our dedicated team is committed to making sure your loved ones are comfortable, safe, and well-cared for, offering personalized services designed to meet your unique requirements.
We share weekly Bible stories with the children. In addition to the story, we will have extension activities to support the value and moral of each story. We introduce the children to good character traits through stories, activities, and games, helping them apply these lessons in their daily lives. These teachings nurture both their hearts and minds.

Through engaging activities and structured lessons, children learn key SEL competencies such as self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills not only help children navigate their emotions in a positive way but also empower them to communicate effectively, show empathy, and resolve conflicts peacefully.

Our infant and toddler program introduces our youngest children to early literacy activities and focuses on encouraging the children’s developmental milestones and natural need to explore the world around them. The staff respond quickly to the infant’s physical and emotional needs. This helps build a sense of trust and security. The toddlers have daily opportunities to explore creative arts, dramatic play, music and movement activities, story time, and are exposed to classical literature and American Sign Language.
Through weekly themes the children experience fun and creative learning in creative art, language arts, dramatic arts, construction, math, and science. They enjoy daily story time, music and movement, and exercise. The day is a balance of teacher and child-lead activities. Although the daily schedule for a preschooler is more structured than the toddler class, there is still flexibility to take advantage of teachable moments and to be spontaneous. The preschool classrooms focus on a letter, color, number, shape, and specific learning concepts each week.
Children who attend local schools in Orange County have the option of attending our center before and after school. There is an Orange County bus stop at the side of our parking lot and our staff will assist your child getting on and off the bus. We have limited space for school-age children. As space allows, school-age children may attend the center during school holidays.
The Infant through Preschool Summer Program is included with the Preschool year. It consists of weekly water activities, festive seasonal activities such as picnics, parades, beach day, and carnival day.
Our Summer Camp is for grades 1st – 6th. Summer Camp consists of 12 weeks of FUN with themed weeks, field trips, creative activities, annual art and talent shows, STEM projects, and character building activities.
