At Child Care Inc., our mission is simple yet impactful: maximize PLAY.

As a drop in childcare program, we aim to maximize play through art, sensory, outdoor, and life experiences so that children can learn and grow under the same sky.

Our play-based curriculum helps children develop crucial skills, including problem-solving, critical thinking, and social interaction, in a fun and engaging environment. This promotes a love of learning that lasts a lifetime, helping each child become a confident, curious, and well-rounded individual.

Our Philosophy

swoosh pink

We believe that children have the right to learn, play, and grow in a safe, nurturing environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Children have the right to develop and grow to their maximum abilities. As teachers and care providers, we have the responsibility to provide opportunities for this development to occur.

We recognize that each child is a unique individual. As such, each child must be allowed to develop at their own pace. We accept, respect, and appreciate the differences between children, including physical and developmental differences and differences in their ethnic and racial heritages. We know that every child – regardless of their sex, race, religion, and ethnic origin – must have the same advantages and opportunities as every other child.

We believe that every child has the right to develop a positive self-image, so they can feel good about who they are and the unique qualities that make them, them. We fervently hope that by treating each child with love and respect, they will learn to treat others with that same love and respect.

We recognize that children learn best when they can actively participate in their environment. As teachers and care providers, it is our job to provide a variety of experiences and opportunities that promote growth in all areas. Our professionals strive to plan activities that meet each child’s differing developmental needs while following sound, trusted early childhood developmental principles.

Our Causes

As a company, we are passionate about helping the children and families in our community, and we aim to do so even beyond the walls of our daycare near me! That is why we proudly support the following causes:

  • The Kathy Cronemiller Memorial Child Care Fund. Inspired by our founder’s mission, the memorial fund helps childcare centers in Oklahoma purchase classroom materials that support early childhood learning. By providing these essentials, we help ensure that more children have access to a quality learning experience.
  • The Oklahoma Child Care Association. As a non-profit association, the OCCA focuses on the ongoing education of Oklahoma’s licensed child care providers. The OCCA encourages the best standards of care, helping ensure that children across the state receive the high-quality care that they deserve.
