The Lutheran Home Children’s Center was established in 1991 to provide the opportunity for employees to leave their children in a warm, caring environment. We wanted the best for our own children and have also made the center available to the community.

We believe we can strengthen each family, reducing stresses at home and at work, by providing high quality child care that recognizes each child as a unique individual created by God. We are also committed to the value of a multicultural and intergenerational experience for all children.

The 3-year-old and 4-year-old rooms have educational computers.

Children need regular daily schedules which are organized, yet flexible. Our programs have sound educational curriculum geared toward each child’s developmental ability. All classrooms participate in intergenerational programs as developmentally appropriate.

Small manipulatives are a popular activity in our younger classsrooms.

The infant room caters to each child’s schedule and needs in order to help each child in their developmental mile stones such as rolling over, crawling, standing, walking etc. The infant area enjoys sleeping rooms around the perimeter of the main room. Parents are updated daily on their child’s progress and are able to let staff know important information through a daily log kept in the infant room.

Lutheran Home’s Children’s Center is licensed by the state’s Department of Health and Social Services to serve children ages six weeks through twelve years of age. As early childhood educators, we recognize that a program’s success is dependent on close relationships between children, staff and parents. Naturally, parents are welcome to stop in at any time and encouraged to participate in all areas of our program.

The enclosed Outdoor Play areas have age appropriate equipment and are used daily.

The sidewalk around our play areas gets "heavy traffic."
