About Connect Kids • A ministry of Connect Church • Opening December 2026

A daycare ministry being built to help children feel safe, known, loved, and ready to grow.

Connect Kids is preparing to open in December 2026 at Connect Church in Lubbock for 2s, 3s, and 4-year-olds. We are building a Christ-centered early learning environment where children are cared for with patience, families are communicated with clearly, and every classroom is shaped by safety, purpose, and joy.

Why we exist

Why Connect Kids exists

Connect Kids exists to serve Lubbock families with trustworthy early care rooted in the love of Jesus. We know choosing daycare is one of the biggest trust decisions a parent makes, so our goal is to create a place where children are protected, nurtured, encouraged, and gently prepared for what comes next.

Safe careSupervision, routines, licensing preparation, and secure drop-off and pick-up planning shape the center before anything else.
Known childrenA warm small-child environment for 2s, 3s, and 4-year-olds where children are noticed, encouraged, and supported at their stage.
Family partnershipClear updates now through the interest list and app-based parent communication through Procare after enrollment begins.
Daily care philosophy

Our approach to children

Safety before everything

Daily routines, supervision, background checks and training as required by licensing, and careful check-in/check-out planning.

Learning through purposeful play

Frog Street educational curriculum, centers, language, discovery, and school-readiness experiences designed for young children.

Faith that feels joyful and age-appropriate

Wonder Ink, Bible stories, prayer, worship, wonder, and belonging in a tone that is warm and child-friendly.

Partnership with parents

Procare updates, practical communication, and a leadership team that welcomes questions as opening details are finalized.

Leadership matters
