Where Learning, Love, & Laughter Grow Together
Choosing the right environment for your child’s early years is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At Debbie's Childcare and Preschool, your child will be surrounded by warmth, experience, and discovery every single day. Our owner, Debbie, and assistant, Marlene, bring over 40 years of combined teaching and childcare experience, creating a cozy and engaging atmosphere where children feel cared for, encouraged, and free to be themselves. Families love our balance of nurturing attention and enriching opportunities that build confidence and curiosity.
Exciting Enrichments & Activities
We believe that learning should be fun, interactive, and engaging. Our preschool program is designed to promote a child’s natural curiosity while fostering a love for learning. Through teacher-guided lessons and child-led exploration, children develop their confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Each day features a mix of activities in art, music, math, science, and physical movement, encouraging both cognitive and social growth. Our caring teachers make every lesson feel like an adventure, while our friendly cats add a dash of fun to the learning experience.

Nutritious Meals for Happy Children
We know that a healthy child is a happy child. That’s why we provide wholesome, nutritious meals and snacks that meet USDA guidelines. From breakfast to lunch and mid-day snacks, children enjoy balanced meals to fuel their busy days of learning and play. We also take care of the little things, offering diapers, wipes, and sunscreen to ensure your little one is comfortable and well-cared for at all times.
A Safe, Fun Playground for Exploration
Learning doesn’t stop inside the classroom at Debbie’s Childcare and Preschool. Our large, fenced playground is a haven for active play and discovery. Children love running, climbing, and exploring the outdoors, with the added excitement of meeting our friendly backyard chickens. This outdoor space promotes physical development, teamwork, and imaginative play, while providing an ideal environment for social growth.
