What is the ABC Barn Children's Place?

The ABC Barn Children's Place provides preschool and full day care services for children aged 2 years old to 5th grade -- Monday thru Friday, from 6am to 6pm. We are considered to be one of the best child care facilities in the area and our rates are very fair for the high quality of child care we provide.

The overall objectives of the Center (ABC Barn Children's Place) are to:

• Provide a safe, healthy and stimulating environment in which children can grow, learn and play.
• Complement and support the family unit, and provide opportunities for meaningful involvement of the parents in the care and education of their children.
• Encourage the children to become involved in the stimulating and friendly environment of the Center under the guidance of a caring and professionally competent staff.

It is not an objective of the Center to provide specific religious or parochial instruction.
 
The staff of the Center will always be chosen on the basis of a friendly, caring way with children, and on professional training and competence. Required child/staff ratios and other mandated regulations will always be considered as minimum requirements only.

ABC Barn Children’s Place, a community ministry of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
 
The Center is licensed by the State of California’s Health and Welfare Agency, and will admit children and employ staff without regard to gender, race, color, creed national and ethnic origin. Physically handicapped and emotionally disturbed children will be admitted as the Center is able to adequately meet individual needs.
