Investing in our future

St. John’s Learning Center is licensed by the State of Michigan to care for children ages 6 weeks – 12 years old. We have 4 classrooms that run year round. In the summer, we also offer a school age program for children 6 – 12 years old.
The staff at the Learning Center provide a nurturing and caring environment while helping the

children learn through play in a variety of activities. We strive to maintain the highest quality administration, staff, and curriculum that will encourage all aspects of a child’s development, including spiritual, social, physical, emotional, and intellectual growth.

We know that God has appointed parents as the primary instructors of their children; therefore, the staff works with the parents to offer quality learning opportunities for the children. While in our care, they are taught that they are a child of God and that His love for them is never-ending.
