Preschool & Child Care Center Serving Shalimar, FL
“My passion and purpose is around children.”
From her first babysitting job at age 10, owner, Rita Chandler, fell in love with children. Later, as a youth director in her teens, she always catered community events to the young children of her church. From this early age, Rita discovered, “My passion and purpose is around children.”
Fast forward to the future, Rita decided to pursue her passion and purchase a daycare in her hometown. Within 2 weeks, the center became filled with children and families.
Carrying on with immense success, Rita opened 5 total locations during the pandemic. Alongside her family-owned team, including her daughter, daughter-in-law, best friend, and sister, your child walks into a place that truly feels like home. Rita and her team continually work to ensure your child feels inspired, hopeful, empowered, and part of something bigger than themselves each time they step into their classroom.

Literacy-rich lessons encourage your child to join in on storytelling, journaling, and drawing, helping them gain the reading and writing skills for their next steps.
With exciting and fun math activities, they accelerate their brain development while learning to count, order, recognize patterns, and think critically.
Your child learns to explore different cultures, their diversity, and similarities. They gain new respect for everyone while becoming part of a welcoming community.
Children gain a passion for knowledge with science experiments that spark their curiosity. Watch them carry their inquisitive nature into every area of school — helping them excel above and beyond.
