Our Mission
To provide a warm, loving, and home-like environment where every child feels safe, valued, and nurtured in the fear of the Lord. Our mission is to guide children in growing in God’s wisdom and knowledge through engaging Bible stories, uplifting Christian songs, and joyful, faith-based learning experiences each day.
Trained up from the very start
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). What we hope to see in our children's future should be taught from the day they are born. Children learn to relate well with one another through playing and sharing. Allkidz partners with parents to help grow children into the people God created them to be (Ephesians 6:4).
Every child is unique
Each child is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), whatever their background, behavior or situation. We help every child reach their full potential cognitively, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Children explore, discover and learn at their own pace under adult supervision, through tasting, hearing, smelling, touching and seeing, with hands-on materials kept within their reach. Their work is celebrated and displayed to build confidence.
A joyful, welcoming home
Every day is a day the Lord has made. We keep our home safe and welcoming with laughter, smiles, hugs and songs, healthy meals, playing together as a big family, responding to needs, correcting with love, and reading aloud. Parents receive photos and videos of their child's day, so they can be at peace wherever they are.
Always learning
Knowledge promotes quality. Our director and anyone who joins the team are encouraged to attend trainings, take classes and keep growing in this work.
