Lexington
As our Irmo location continued to grow and serve more families, we saw an opportunity to expand our reach. In 2011, we opened our Lexington location, allowing us to welcome even more children and families into our childcare community. Built on the same foundation of faith, love, and dedication that began our journey, our Lexington center continues to grow and serve families each day.
We are thankful for the families who have placed their trust in us and for the opportunity to be part of so many children’s early years. As we continue to grow each day, we remain dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a place where children feel loved, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Rosemary Esquivel
Director
Hi, my name is Rosemary. I have proudly been a part of our center for the past 15 years. During that time, I have had the privilege of building lasting relationships with our children, families, and dedicated staff. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child feels valued and supported as they learn and grow. I believe strong communication with families and a caring, dedicated team are the foundation of a successful early childhood program. Watching children reach new milestones and helping families through each stage of development is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
Our Classrooms
Turtles
6 Weeks - 12 Months
Infant room
Our infant classroom provides a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where each child's individual needs are met every day. Teachers take the time to build trusting relationships with each baby by learning their unique personality, routines, likes, and dislikes, ensuring they receive personalized care and attention. Through tummy time, sensory exploration, music, story time, and age-appropriate play, infants develop early cognitive, language, fine motor, and gross motor skills. We create a warm, responsive environment that encourages exploration, supports developmental milestones, and helps every infant feel secure, valued, and loved.

Teachers build strong relationships with each child while encouraging curiosity, confidence, and the development of early self-help skills in a caring and supportive setting.
