Ages 6 weeks – 5 years

Connect and Grow is open Monday – Friday from 7 am - 6 pm.

For infants, we offer a Monday–Friday schedule.

Our infant program is built around consistency. Babies thrive on predictable routines, familiar caregivers, and steady schedules, which is why we offer full Monday–Friday care.

This approach also ensures each infant has their own dedicated crib—we do not practice crib sharing—allowing us to maintain the highest standards of safety, cleanliness, and comfort.

By keeping our program consistent, we create a calm, secure environment where your baby can feel safe and truly at home.

For children ages one and up, we offer schedule flexibility.

As children grow, they become more adaptable and comfortable with varied routines. That’s why we’re able to offer flexible scheduling options—Monday–Friday, Monday/Wednesday/Friday, or Tuesday/Thursday—for children ages one and up.

These options allow families to choose a schedule that best fits their needs, while still providing a consistent classroom environment, familiar teachers, and meaningful learning experiences. Our goal is to support both your child’s development and your family’s busy life with the flexibility you can count on.

Connect & Grow operates year-round. We do close for major Holidays, 3 staff professional development days and approximately a week between Christmas and New Years.

 We are fully licensed by the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education and meet or exceed all state requirements for health, safety, and program quality.  Our teachers follow the North Carolina Early Learning Guidelines to support children’s development across cognitive, social-emotional, language, and physical domains. In addition, we implement Preschool Universals—research-based best practices that promote high-quality instruction, positive classroom environments, and strong school readiness outcomes for every child.

We use the Kaplan Early Learning Company Learn Every Day™ curriculum for our Infant though Preschool classrooms, providing developmentally appropriate, research-based learning experiences that support growth in language, literacy, math, science, social-emotional development, and physical skills. For our Pre-K students, we implement the Connect4Learning® curriculum, a comprehensive, evidence-based program designed to build strong foundations in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and executive functioning skills.

Our programs are intentionally designed to promote kindergarten readiness. Through structured learning experiences, hands-on exploration, small group instruction, and meaningful play, children develop the academic skills, confidence, independence, and social-emotional maturity needed for a successful transition to kindergarten.

In addition to our academic curriculum, we intentionally weave Bible stories, scripture verses, worship songs, and daily prayer into our program. Our goal is to nurture not only each child’s mind, but also their heart—helping them grow in character, faith, confidence, and kindness.

We are a full-time, faith-based program, offering families the comfort of all-day care in a nurturing, values-centered environment—something many faith-based programs don’t provide.

Our owner/administrator is on-site every day, bringing over 25 years of experience and a master’s degree in early childhood education. That hands-on leadership means consistency, quality, and a heart fully invested in your child’s growth.

With long-term, dedicated staff and a truly family-friendly approach, we strive to create a place where children feel safe, loved, and right at home.

To minimize disruption to our classrooms, we only offer tours when we have a space available for your child's age classroom.  We receive many tour inquiries, and limiting tours in this way allows us to prioritize the needs of our enrolled children and staff. We truly appreciate your understanding.

We provide healthy morning and afternoon snacks and lunch each day that follow USDA guidelines and the standards of the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education. Our meals support your child’s growth and development while meeting all state requirements.

We are happy to accommodate allergies with proper documentation. For everyone’s safety, we are a nut-free facility.
