At Bethlehem Lutheran Child Development Center, we understand that parents have trouble finding the support they need while raising little ones. That's why our center is a joyful space where kids of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and faiths are welcome to play, learn, and grow. 

We promise to love your kids almost as much as you do, so everyone in your family has the opportunity to thrive.

History

The Child Development Center is a mission of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, whose church council saw a need for quality, affordable, daycare in Elgin, Illinois. Nearly 30 years later, we continue our mission to serve the community through church-focused care where all are welcome.
