Little Dreamers Christian Childcare

Where Little Dreamers grow, learn & thrive

Big imaginations. Bright hope. Little dreamers, loved by Jesus.

A licensed Christian childcare center on Evansville's east side, where children from six weeks old are known by name, loved like family, and given room to wonder. Bible stories, paint on the fingers, mud on the boots, and a teacher who prays for them by name. We teach letters and numbers, and we teach that Jesus loves them. Both every day.

Hope

Children can feel when the adults around them believe in them. Every room here is run by someone who does, and every day starts with a reason to look forward.

"For I know the plans I have for you." Jeremiah 29:11

✎

Imagination

Cardboard-box rocket ships, puppet shows, mud kitchens, and the kind of questions only a four-year-old asks. We protect play time, because that's where thinking is born.

"Children are a heritage from the Lord." Psalm 127:3

✝

Faith

Jesus is the center of the day, not an add-on to it. Bible stories at circle time, prayer before every meal, worship songs the kids actually sing in the car, and a rainbow on the wall that reminds us God keeps His promises.

"Let the little children come to me." Matthew 19:14

Programs

Every age gets its own room, rhythm, and teacher.

Children grow up through the building together. Each classroom is planned around what that age is ready for, with the love of Christ and early academics woven into the day from the very first room.

Every room teaches from The Creative Curriculum® by Teaching Strategies, a research-based program built on decades of early-childhood study. Hands-on, whole-child, and ready for kindergarten and beyond.

A day at Little Dreamers

Structured enough to feel safe. Playful enough to feel like childhood.

What families say

★★★★★

Our family absolutely loves this daycare! Our child is always excited to go to "school," which says so much about the warm and welcoming environment the staff create every day. It's clear the teachers and staff truly care about the children and their development. In just a few months, our daughter has learned so much and looks forward to seeing her teacher, Ms. Lacy, every day.

About us

A nonprofit center, run by the people who are in the building every day.

Little Dreamers Christian Childcare is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on North Boeke Road, just down from Wesselman Park. Two working directors and a team of more than a dozen teachers care for children from infancy through pre-K, raising children to know Jesus while they learn their letters and numbers. We are a ministry first, a school second, and both are done with excellence.

We are licensed and inspected by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (license #517113), and we keep our ratios small so every child is known by name.

Enrollment

Questions parents ask first

What ages do you accept?

Six weeks through pre-K. Children move up through the rooms as they grow, usually with teachers they already know.

What are your hours?

Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Closed weekends and major holidays.

Do you accept CCDF vouchers? confirm

Placeholder answer. Confirm with the office whether Indiana CCDF vouchers and On My Way Pre-K are accepted, and state it plainly here. Families search for this.

What does tuition cost? confirm

Placeholder. Even a weekly range by age group ("Infants from $___/week") answers the question most families have before they call.

Is there a waitlist?

Openings vary by room. Schedule a tour and we'll tell you honestly where things stand for your child's age.

How do I enroll?

Tour first. If it feels right, we'll walk you through the enrollment packet, immunization records, and your child's first-week plan.

Careers

Love kids? Love Jesus? We'd like to meet you.

We need some magical people to call us. We're a small nonprofit ministry, and we hire people who want to stay. If you follow Jesus, love children, and want to learn, come talk to us. Experience helps; a heart for kids is required.

Full-time and part-time, between 6:30 AM and 6:30 PM

Schedule a tour

The best way to know is to come see.

Tours take about twenty minutes. You'll see the room your child would be in, meet the teacher who would be praying over them, and get straight answers about openings and cost.
