Our Mission:
Christ Centered Care
Our mission is to provide high-quality Christian childcare rooted in love, learning, and faith. Guided by the love of Jesus Christ, we seek to nurture each child in a safe and caring environment where they can grow physically, spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually.
Our program uses Funshine Express Learning for toddlers and Mother Goose Time with the Experiencing God curriculum for preschoolers. At St. Stephen’s, we pair loving care with engaging educational experiences designed to spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and support each child’s unique potential.
