ABOUT US
At Saint John Community Childcare, our mission is to create a nurturing and educational environment that fosters the holistic development of each child that will be in our care. We are committed to providing a safe and loving space where children can explore, learn, and grow, laying the foundation for a lifetime of success.

The journey to establish the Saint John Community Child Care facility was a labor of love, determination, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of children and families in our community. The vision for this facility was born out of a growing recognition of the challenges faced by working parents who needed reliable, high-quality childcare in our area.
The process began with countless hours of research, community engagement, and advocacy. The goal was clear: to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children could grow, learn, and thrive. The path, however, was anything but simple. From navigating zoning regulations and securing funding to assembling a passionate and dedicated team, every step required perseverance and an unshakeable belief in God!
Collaborating with community leaders, educators, and childcare experts was essential in shaping the vision. Input from local families highlighted the urgent need for affordable, accessible childcare that prioritized developmental milestones and fostered a sense of belonging. Over the years, this input became the cornerstone of Saint John Community Child Care’s mission.
The facility represents more than just a place for children to stay while their parents work. It is a beacon of hope and opportunity, designed to provide educational support, promote social-emotional development, and give children the foundation they need for lifelong success. Its doors are open not only to families in the local community but also to surrounding counties, bridging gaps in childcare access and addressing a critical regional need.
Through grit, determination, and unwavering community support, Saint John Community Child Care is poised to be a transformative force. It stands as a testament to the belief that investing in children is investing in the future of our community.
