We're a team of community-minded volunteers, early childhood champions, and entrepreneurs who are working to create critical childcare for infants and toddlers in a neighborhood where families live and work in Traverse City. As part of the Commongrounds real estate cooperative at 414 E Eighth Street, a unique building owned by its tenants and our community, we're aiming to make the place we love even better, together.  

Our Mission: To nurture the whole child through respect and love, unveiling their true potential in a community-centric model.

The Vision: To advance the embetterment of humanity through global perspective, local action, ecological interconnectedness, resiliency through diversity, and self-awareness of one's passion, purpose, and gifts in service of the collective
