Childcare – FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH

About From Cradles to Crayons

From Cradles to Crayons is a State licensed Childcare Center that maintains compliance to Kansas Department of Health and Environment regulations. From Cradles to Crayons is an integral part of the ministry of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). FCC is a place where ALL are welcome to gather, to worship, to seek, to ask questions, to doubt and to feast upon the love of God. That inclusiveness carries over into our childcare center as well. The congregation, pastors, and staff are available to assist FCC families whenever needs arise.

It is our MISSION To give children loving, quality care and help them develop a love of learning by:
• providing a nurturing, welcoming environment
• Meeting their individual educational, social, and emotional needs
• Providing engaging opportunities for children to learn through play and exploration
• Working collaboratively with parents to support development at home and at our center
​
It is our PHILOSOPHY that we believe children learn and grow when they are in an affectionate, accepting, and Christian environment (kindness, love, inclusiveness, and empathy). To us, learning begins with play. We view play as an important part of a child’s experience at From Cradles to Crayons. We also believe the freedom to express feelings helps children develop a positive self-image. We encourage children to use their intellectual and creative abilities and to develop habits of observation, questioning and listening. We utilize Zoo Phonics as our literacy curriculum, a multi-sensory curriculum, teaching the foundations of letter recognition and reading.  Our Creative Curriculum is developed around the general interest of the children, all of our classrooms follow a child friendly theme and expand our lesson plans based on age appropriate developmental domains and milestones for the children in care.

Early Learning Center – HOPE LUTHERAN

Hope Lutheran seeks to serve our community by providing high-quality child care and education and the good news of Jesus for children zero to sixth grade. You do not have to be a member of our church to enroll your children. Everyone is welcome!

We take the privilege and responsibility of guiding, educating, and loving the children in our care seriously. We offer far more than just day care or babysitting. We have been accredited by the National Accreditation of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and use a research-based curriculum called HighScope that promotes and encourages growth in all areas of development for all ages.  Our curriculum centers around how children learn best–through play and active participatory learning. Active learning is supported by adult/child interactions, the learning environment, the daily routine, and assessments. With this philosophy of active learning in mind and within our structured day we have created indoor and outdoor environments for children to explore and learn by doing!

We see ourselves as partners of the parents and families to help their children grow and develop. Whether you are a member of our church, of another faith, or do not have a church home, we welcome your family to our Early Learning Center.

About Our Child Care Facility

Our facility includes nine spacious classrooms, each with its own bathroom, and five natural outdoor play areas where children can explore and discover the world around them. Each outdoor play area is designed for a specific age group: infants, one-year-olds, two-year-olds, and preschoolers. Additional features include a dedicated activity space inside which can be used for physical activities during inclement weather, as well as a kitchen with our own cook who prepares nutritious meals and snacks from scratch.

With secure access to the main facility, as well as each individual classroom, the center provides a safe environment for children. We also help parents and family members stay connected by securely sharing photos and updates during the day, if desired.​

We are happy to answer any questions and can provide tours of our facility upon request. Contact us for more information!

The most long-awaited, magical, beloved holiday – New Year is coming! Surely each of us remembers how, as a child, he was waiting for a New Year’s miracle, gifts, dressing up a Christmas tree with his parents, looking forward to the arrival of guests, learning poems for Santa Claus, making Christmas decorations and snowflakes with his own hands. For the rest of our lives we remember this incredible smell of Christmas trees and tangerines, the crunch of snow, fireworks, happy faces of loved ones, Bengal lights, favorite films and fairy tales on television. Growing up, we repeat this fairy tale for our children, and we ourselves believe that all our New Year wishes will come true.
We congratulate you on the approach of the most joyful, kind, magical holiday – the New Year! May this year be a series of happy and joyful days filled with love, kindness and faith in the best!
