Description : About Us

At The Pillars Christian Learning Centers, our dedicated team of professionals partners with parents to provide the absolute best in childcare, education, and development – all based on a foundation of faith in Jesus.

The Pillars Christian Learning Center was founded to be different. From the beginning, our mission has always been to offer the most exceptional care for the children in our community, care that is secure, innovative, and compassionate. We serve families with children from infancy through age twelve.

Our premier curriculum focuses on each child’s academic, physical, and spiritual development to support all areas of personal growth. We believe the key to early development is reinforcing academic learning with creativity, fun, exploration, and new experiences.

We understand that working families want to give their children every opportunity for long-term success, and they need a childcare partner they can trust. That’s why we hire the best educators and strive to make them feel like family.

Our mission is to deliver a high-quality early childhood education program, helping students successfully reach important developmental, emotional, and academic milestones — all while instilling strong character and a lasting foundation of Christian faith.
