Grow in Peace was created by the members of Peace Lutheran Church as a ministry outreach in order to provide quality child care to area families that is based on Christian principles.  Peace Lutheran Church’s mission is to spread the grace of God through Jesus Christ in order to build successful lives, families and communities.

 Grow in Peace is a Missouri state licensed child care center, which means certain of the rules and regulations we operate under are dictated and directed by the Missouri Department of Health, as contained in the Licensing Rules for Group day Care Home and Child Care Centers in Missouri,  a copy of which is available in the office for your review.  The Licensing Rules mandate that the staff of Grow in Peace report any suspected child abuse to appropriate authorities.

 Grow in Peace’s approach to education and child care recognizes that PARENTS have the primary responsibility and privilege to provide the first level of instruction and training, including Christian training, for their children; however, as an extension of Peace Lutheran Church, we will strive to strengthen and support parents in this endeavor by assisting the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of the children entrusted to our care.

 Grow in Peace is open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Our preschool curriculum operates from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with before and after care provided as part of your weekly fees.  Lunch is served to children in the building over the lunch period.  The exact time of lunch depends upon the age group of your child.  The current lunch schedule can be provided to you in the office or by clicking here.  Meals provided for ages 12 months to 12 years are Breakfast, Lunch, and PM Snack.

Every Child in the center qualifies Grow in Peace to be on the Food Program.  The meals are pre-set and follow the USDA standards and guidelines.  Each child receives the amounts and food items needed to fulfill the standards.
