A Westminster Family’s Guide to A Child’s Touch Christian Daycare

  • A magnificent 2,400 sq. ft. redwood castle where imagination soars
  • A dedicated soccer field where team sports foster cooperation and friendship
  • A special nature area where children develop appreciation for God’s outdoor creation
  • A fully-equipped Woodworking Barn with age-appropriate tools for hands-on building
  • An interactive General Store where children “shop” for fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Multiple gardens where little hands tend plants and learn about life cycles
  • The Circle of Honor paying tribute to God, our country, and those who serve
  • Waterfalls and ponds where splashing and play combine with scientific discovery

Our nationally-recognized playground is one of the first 100 certified Nature Explore playgrounds in the entire nation, earning certification from the Arbor Day Foundation.

The ACT Academics© Curriculum: Bringing Divine Wonder to Westminster Children

Westminster families deserve more than standard daycare. Our innovative ACT Academics© curriculum takes a creative approach to early childhood education because we understand that children learn best through engaged experiences.

While traditional worksheets remain static, our outdoor learning environments are dynamic and ever-changing, just like your child’s developing mind. Our Christ-based teaching imparts values of acceptance, respect, and gratitude—qualities that will serve your Westminster child throughout their lifetime.

The journey of A Child’s Touch began in 1977 when founders Mike and Debi Grillo opened a small, non-denominational Christian school in a mobile home park. Mike, with his double degree in elementary education and special education from Northern Arizona University, taught the A.C.T. academic kindergarten program for 18 years and continues to mentor our teachers on-site.

Today, we’re proud to serve the grandchildren of Westminster families who enrolled their children with us decades ago. The Grillos take joy in seeing the fruits of the seeds they planted, continuing to reinvent early childcare to provide Westminster families with faith-based education that honors a child’s natural love of discovery.
