Incorporated into our philosophy of life enhancement and quality care, Luthercare has created child care programs that focus on learning and development through social interaction and child-directed activites. We currently have five Child Care & Learning Centers throughout Lebanon and Lancaster Counties, each offering the same personalized quality care that the communities we serve have come to expect from Luthercare.
The developmental objectives of our child care programs are based on five very important areas:
- Social Interaction
- Physical Activities
- Cognitive Learning
- Emotional Wellness
- Creative Expression
Our child care programs focus on positive reinforcement to enhance the learning experiences of children. The Learning Centers are the core of the programs, which enable the children to work in small groups, promoting social interaction as well as the advantages of group learning.
Care is available for infants, toddlers and preschoolers at all of our Child Care & Learning Centers. Additionally, all of our centers offer both before and after school programs for elementary students. Summer camp is also available at all of our child care centers.
Our child care programs offer families in our communities trustworthy and affordable child care provided by qualified and experienced staff. We follow the standards set forth by the by the Keystone Stars Child Care Quality Initiative and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Financial assistance consultations are available.
