What We Believe

Children need support in order to develop spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and physically. At LLPP, our faith shapes the way we care for children. We engage in many different activities, from painting and singing to counting and speaking, all of which show evidence of a loving God. Whether specifically referenced or not, our faith informs each of our interactions.

How We Started

In 1993, a group of community members noticed a need for local Christian childcare. To ask for help, they contacted the Holland Deacons’ Conference, a coalition of Christian Reformed churches. After exploring many options, it was suggested that churches could partner to provide childcare for the community. In 1997, Lakeshore Little People’s Place opened its doors for the first time, serving twenty preschool children at Maplewood Reformed Church. Our program continued to grow and by August of 1997, we were able to open two additional centers. Today, we serve more than 300 children and families across three locations in the Holland and Hamilton areas.
