Tell us about your program: We are a fully inclusive early education program serving infants age 6 weeks through children age 5. We also offer summer care (and year-round sibling care) for school age children. We are unique in that we strive to teach through play and real world hands-on experiences. We support early childhood theory and immerse this into our curriculum. We are constantly learning about our industry and improving our craft to serve the needs of our children and families. We also strive to be immersed within our local community and include parents in engaging with their child’s education.

Special Program Features: We accept and work with the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative, Bowen Center, and Northeastern Center (behavioral). We are play-based and offer many real-life experiences with nature, as well as field trips for our school age children in the summer. We also partner locally with colleges/high schools to immerse practicing education candidates into our program, as well as working with TEACH for scholarships for employees that are teaching candidates.
