Who We Are

Mountain View Daycare and Preschool is dedicated to providing and creating a faith based nurturing environment for you and your child, designed to support the growth of the whole child from toddlers through preschool. 

We aim to impart foundations in the Word of God through daily lessons and routines that support spiritual growth as well as practical, development minded, learning goals for your child, as well as fostering kindness, respect and a love for others.

Our Statement of Faith comes from Proverbs 22:6 “Start Children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it”. We believe in the creation of a firm foundation that children can build on for the rest of their lives.

    Meet Shannon Taylor, Mountain View Daycare and Preschool’s Regional Director. Shannon’s dream has always been to create a childcare center and preschool that teaches and reaches, that instills the word of God to all who walk through the doors, and to create a place where everyone feels welcome and safe. Shannon has experience in the daycare field having taught in and directed them in the past. When Shannon is not working on “all things daycare” she is most likely gardening or enjoying time in the word with her husband! Shannon wanted to share a Bible verse with everyone that has grown to be MVDCP’s foundation verse:

    “Start Children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it”

    Proverbs 22:6

  • Keiko Churchill

    Teacher’s Aide

    Meet Keiko Churchill, one of our Mountain View Teacher’s Aides.

    “I’m so excited to be an Aide at Mountain View Daycare and Preschool! I graduated from Ridgeview Christian School in 2024, and since then have been working towards my degree in Early Childhood Development. I’m 20 years old and have spent most of the last 10 years working with children. From being a mommy helper, to babysitting, to nannying, I’ve loved nothing more than devoting my time to helping kids grow in a loving environment. I’ve learned that working in childcare is one of the most rewarding jobs. Watching kids reach big milestones and meeting their goals will forever fill me with joy and make everyday worth it. My hope is to teach your kids and plant God’s seed in their heart daily.”
