Meet the Hearts Behind the Mission
Founded in 2025, our ministry was born from a simple vision — to walk alongside families, nurturing both their growth and their faith.
At the heart of all we do is the belief that every parent and child is wonderfully made and designed for connection—both with one another and with their Creator. Through compassionate care, gospel-centered teaching, and expert guidance, we seek to equip families to thrive in body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Tania, with our dedicated board share one calling: to serve with love, lead with humility, and point every heart toward the One who made us.
