- For families exploring their options
You’re not just looking for daycare.
You’re looking for a place where your child is safe, known by name, and genuinely loved. Where the day has purpose, faith has a seat at the table, and drop-off ends with a wave instead of a worry.
That is the school we run. One campus, one mission, and a teacher who will learn your child’s name in the first hour.
Families searching for a preschool in West Melbourne, a daycare near Palm Bay, or simply a place that will love their child on the hard mornings usually visit two or three schools before they choose. We hope to be one of them, because the difference shows up in person: in the calm of the infant room, in the questions our teachers ask you back, and in how many parents have been bringing children here for years.

Find your child’s room.
Low ratios, strong curriculum, and Christian principles at every age, from infant care through summer camp for school-age kids. Every room keeps the same promise with age-tuned teaching, so your child can grow up here without ever outgrowing us. Pick the room your child is growing into.
6 weeks to 12 months
Gentle routines, steady arms, and big milestones. Our infant room keeps ratios low so feeding, napping, and floor time follow your baby’s rhythm, not a clock on the wall. Daily updates keep you close to every first.
1 to 2 years
First words and busy hands, guided through play. Toddlers climb, sort, sing, and start stringing words into sentences with teachers who narrate the whole adventure. Structured play builds language, motor skills, and confidence.
3 years
Early literacy and confidence, planted daily. Threes work on letters, numbers, sharing, and stamina for a fuller learning day, with faith woven gently through it all. They leave this room ready for VPK.
4 to 5 years, free
Florida’s free pre-K year, taught the Mustard Seed way. Eligible 4 and 5 year olds get state-funded mornings focused on kindergarten readiness, while working families can choose to wrap the day to 6:00. Spots fill fast every year.
5 to 12 years
Safe mornings and afternoons around the school day. We cover early drop-off, the pickup window, snack, homework help, and free play until 6:00. One less thing for your workday to solve.
5 to 12 years
Field trips, projects, and fast friendships. Camp weeks mix outdoor play, S.T.E.A.M. projects, and trips around Brevard so summer stays fun and structured. School-year friends stay together all summer long.
- Why we’re different
A curriculum with a compass.
Our Bible lessons help children explore biblical truths with everyday application. Caring for others. Caring for family. Finger plays, singing, prayer, and art carry each lesson home.
Alongside faith, children work through S.T.E.A.M. projects, supervised independent exploration, and classroom technology that builds early literacy and math skills. It is a curriculum designed to meet the educational, emotional, and spiritual needs of every child in our care.
- Faith-based curriculum
- S.T.E.A.M. projects
- Independent exploration
- Technology for early literacy
“Though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree.”
Matthew 13:32
- Picture their day
From drop-off to pickup, every hour has a purpose.
Parents ask what a full day of child care actually looks like here. This is the honest answer, the same rhythm your child will learn by heart, five days a week.
6:30 am
Doors open & breakfast
Early arrivals settle into combined rooms, then breakfast is served as classrooms open through the morning.
9:00 am
Circle time & Bible focus
Every room gathers for songs, stories, prayer, and the day’s Bible focus.
9:30 am
Learning & outside time
Centers, art, music and movement, and playground rotations, tuned to each age.
11:00 am
Lunch
Handwashing first, then a full lunch, included in tuition every day.
12:00 pm
Nap & quiet time
Lights low from 12:00 to 2:00. Growing this fast takes serious sleep.
2:30 pm
Snack & afternoons
Snack, learning centers, story time, and outside play, with rooms combining until pickup at 6:00.
The schedule reads nicely. It feels even better in person.
