Change the First 5 Years and You Change Everything

Developing young minds has never been about doing worksheets and sitting at a desk. Even though the latest research in child care  and brain development makes this clear, all you have to do is think back to the teachers you loved in school.  Weren’t they the ones who made the subject they taught come alive?  When you tell "your story", aren't those the teachers who shaped your life?

We’ve dedicated more than 30 years to the safety, nurture and development of preschool children and the child care industry.  Along with our proprietary Learn-At-Play®, we use Frog Street Press® Handwriting Without Tears®, and other curriculum tools to create an almost endless variety of learning opportunities that make children giggle with delight while they systematically acquire the skills that will make them successful in school and beyond.

There’s a reason kindergarten teachers love working with the children who graduate from Morningstar child care.  We do more than help get kids ready for kindergarten, we help get them ready for life!

Child care is critical!  Childcare matters!! Preschool and pre school and pre-school kids matter!
