Children matter. Because children matter the Leelanau Children’s Center provides high quality early childhood educational programs and advocates for children parents and families.

Leelanau Children’s Center is the only preschool in Leelanau County accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children as well as by Family Support America. This means that we have voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of self-study and been found to be in compliance with both organizations criteria for high quality early childhood programs. The Center has won two Michigan Governor’s Awards for Quality and was selected as one of twenty-one exemplary programs in the United States by the Center for Social Policy in a project funded by the Doris Duke Foundation. The Center is much more than just a daycare or childcare center. We pride ourselves in offering high quality early childhood education.

Staff support and training are key to providing high quality early childhood education and our staff is truly special. Staff participate in monthly inservice trainings and attend conferences and other professional development programs. The staff’s caring style is immediately evident to even the most casual observer.
