Welcome to Ground Up Child Care—a space that’s been lovingly transformed into a place for children to explore, learn, and grow! From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the warmth and comfort of a home filled with laughter, curiosity, and care.
Our center is thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of every age and stage. We have cozy spaces for babies, bright and busy areas for toddlers, creative classrooms for preschoolers, and fun zones for school-age and older kids. Each space is filled with age-appropriate toys, learning materials, and opportunities for discovery.
Outside, our fenced-in backyard is a favorite spot! Children can climb, slide, and imagine endless adventures on our play structure—or simply enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a safe, happy space.
