Golden Rule Child Care Center is a place you can trust with your most valuable assets–your children

Established by Grace Lutheran Church in 1972, Seeds of Grace/Golden
Rule Child Care began as a response to the growing childcare needs in the
heart of Andover and the surrounding communities.
For over 40 years, our has been providing a safe, nurturing environment
where children thrive!
It is the philosophy of Seeds of Grace that young children learn most
effectively when they have the opportunity to explore their environment and
experience a variety of materials and situations while they play. We also
believe in a responsive, developmental approach to early childhood
learning which emphasizes that each child develops at their own rate and
that progress is measured individually rather than in comparison to other
children in the group.
Seeds of Grace is a Christ-centered program. Learning experiences are
taught from the Christian perspective that each child is a child of God and
that all people are deserving of respect as creatures of God. In accordance
with this philosophy, we include prayer, worship, Bible stories and teaching,
and service to others as part of our curriculum.
Thank you for visiting Seeds of Grace of Andover, we wish you a day filled
with happiness, laughter and blessings!

At the Golden Rule, my child is accepted for who he is and encouraged to grow into the person he wishes to become.
