Programs for Every Stage of Growth
Infant Care (6 Weeks to 1 Year)
Our infant program provides nurturing care, developmental play, and a calm, loving atmosphere. Babies enjoy tummy time, sensory exposure, nursery rhymes, early color and alphabet recognition, and guided support as they learn to hold their head up, crawl, and stand.
Toddler Program (1 to 3 Years)
Toddlers explore play-based learning with books, colors of the week, letters of the week, counting, sensory bins, and hands-on activities. We ask questions to help children think critically, compare fiction and real life, and grow curious about the world.
Preschool Program (4 to 5 Years)
Preschoolers build skills for kindergarten through journals, early writing, tracing, stories, science projects, math, pretend play, and learning about life cycles, plants, and nature. Children learn responsibility, independence, and confidence in reading and communication.
After School Care (6 Years and Up)
Our after school program offers homework help, snacks, outdoor play, games, and a supportive environment where children unwind, socialize, and enjoy their afternoons.
A Caring Christian Child Care Center in Decatur AL
Inspired by Family, Rooted in Faith
Alicia created Love and Glory Daycare after seeing how her own children thrived with hands-on learning at home. Today, her mission is to give every child the same loving foundation built on faith, curiosity, and a desire to learn.
We believe every child deserves a place where they feel safe, valued, loved, and excited to grow. Our center provides a warm environment where children can explore, build confidence, and discover God’s gifts within them.
- Family-centered and faith-driven approach
- Strong focus on early learning and curiosity
- Individual attention for every child
A Play-Based Curriculum for Early Learning
Our curriculum blends Creative Curriculum, Montessori elements, and hands-on learning to give children a strong start in every area of development. Each day is filled with purposeful play that encourages creativity, confidence, and curiosity. Children explore colors, letters, numbers, stories, science concepts, counting, sensory experiences, and early writing through activities designed to meet them at their level. We read together, sing songs, practice new skills, and introduce real world ideas in ways that feel fun and natural. Our teachers guide every step with patience, encouragement, and love, helping children build essential skills in literacy, math, social-emotional growth, problem solving, and practical life. By the time they leave our program, children feel capable, prepared, and excited for the next stage of learning.
