Tuesday  & Thursday 11:30 - 3:00

Need occasional childcare for your preschooler? Want your children to learn the stories of the Judeo/Christian heritage in an open - minded way that encourages them to ‘wonder’ rather than tells them what to believe? THIS IS FOR YOU!

Our Mission

To reach out to the needs of our community with a quality drop-in childcare program for preschoolers that also teaches children the stories and language of the Judeo-Christian faith.

We will follow the Bellevue Elementary School District calendar for 2007/2008 ending June 14 (1 week before school ends). If they are closed on a particular Tues, we will be closed. If they are open, we are open.
