ABOUT US

Welcome to Little Roots Childcare

Rooted in Truth. Growing in Love.

At Little Roots Childcare, we are a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to nurturing children in a loving, Christ-centered environment. Our two small-capacity centers, located within the same building, provide a unique multi-age learning community where children from 6 weeks to 5 years old grow, learn, and thrive together.

With a combined capacity of just 36 children, our intentionally small enrollment creates a close-knit atmosphere where every child is known, valued, and supported. Unlike traditional age-segregated programs, our multi-age classrooms encourage children to learn from one another through daily interactions, shared experiences, and meaningful relationships. Younger children benefit from observing and learning alongside older peers, while older children develop confidence, leadership skills, patience, and empathy as they model and mentor younger classmates.

This family-style environment reflects the natural way children learn and grow within communities and families. It fosters a sense of belonging, continuity, and connection that helps children feel secure as they develop socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically. Our educators thoughtfully guide each child's individual growth while creating opportunities for collaboration, curiosity, and age-appropriate learning.

At Little Roots Childcare, we believe that strong relationships are at the heart of early childhood development. Through personalized care, Christ-centered values, and a nurturing multi-age community, we partner with families to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning, faith, and character.

We are committed to meeting the growing needs of our community by providing high-quality, faith-informed early education that supports families and nurtures the whole child. Our goal is to not only provide exceptional care, but to plant the seeds of leadership, compassion, and integrity—raising up the next generation of confident, capable leaders who will make a positive impact in their communities.

Your child will learn and grow through play-based, hands-on experiences using the ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum, designed to support their spiritual, academic, and social development.

We’re so glad you’re here—and we can’t wait to grow together.
