nursery (6 weeks - 36 months)

Welcome to Freedom Nursery. Your little one is special to us, and we are committed to providing the most warm, caring, and secure environment possible. Although our nursery is busy caring for the needs of little ones, we are also committed to teaching your children bible themes such as: Jesus Loves Me and I Am Created by God. Activities include free play, praise and worship, prayer and snack time.
