Our Early Learning Program
Luthercare for Kids provides a safe, nurturing environment where children can be kids, students, athletes and artists… where they can explore, learn, thrive and grow. Give your child a great start by enrolling them in a Luthercare for Kids Early Learning Center with locations in Lancaster and Lebanon counties.
A Year-round Learning Program that suits your schedule.
Programs are available for infants, toddlers and preschoolers at all of our Child Care and Learning Centers. All programs include basic care and meals in addition to a learning curriculum unique to each age group. Before- and after-school programs for elementary school students and summer programs for school agers are available at select locations.
