3 months -- 5 years
The Early Childhood programs are located at Plymouth Church on Milwaukee's East side, at the Lydell Community Center in Whitefish Bay, and at Indian Hill School in River Hills. Early childhood care is provided between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Children can attend three, four, or five days per week.

In this fast-paced world, where our children must grow up all too quickly, we feel it is important that we give them the opportunity to be kids and enjoy all the wonders of their early childhood years to the fullest. Our teachers and administrators are warm, nurturing, knowledgeable of child development, and committed to the education of young children.

Our program goals for children address the following areas:
  To provide a safe, secure,. and developmentally appropriate environment for young children which gives them many and varied opportunities to explore, discover, and enjoy their world in an active, hands-on way.
To provide an atmosphere in which children can develop positive attitudes towards themselves and others and gain skill in communication and problem solving.
To provide an environment for learning and growing that is built around the young child's need for nurturing relationships, safety, comfort, physical activity, emotional expression, social interaction, and intellectual stimulation.
To respect children as unique individuals who learn at different rates and in different ways.
To involve the parents of the children being served in such a way that they are able to evaluate and influence the program and its policies.
To provide a professionally supportive work environment in which teachers and administrators continually evaluate and develop their understanding and skill.
