Trinity Child Care strives to maintain low ratios in order to better care for you student. State licensing requires a 10:1 student/teacher ratio. We adhere to the state rules and during active times during the day and on summer field trips we maintain a smaller ration to better serve our children.

All of our teachers use a preventative, as opposed to reactive, discipline management system. Through positive reinforcement, the children are given a hands-on approach to learning Christian behavior.

We provide both morning and afternoon snacks. Hot lunch is provided is also provided for no extra charge. If your child has a food sensitivity, you may choose to bring snacks/lunch from home.

Many of our students require a rest time during their day, others do not. We have two rooms that operate during nap time. The nap room offers children an opportunity to get a nap of 1-1.5 hours. The rest room allows them to rest on their cots for 30 minutes. They do have an opportunity to look at books during some of that time. They are then allowed to get up and do some quiet table time activities
