Programs

Preschool & Pre-K

Guiding Light Early Learning Center offers all-day childcare for children ages 2 years, 9 months through pre-kindergarten (up to age 6), providing a Christian-based preschool curriculum that focuses on academic readiness, social-emotional development, and spiritual growth. Our preschool program includes two nutritious meals plus snacks daily, along with a variety of structured activities, intergenerational interactions, and ample unstructured playtime both indoors and outdoors. Through engaging lessons and hands-on activities, children learn about Jesus' love for everyone and how to share His love wherever they go.

Our Curriculum

Our preschool curriculum, “One in Christ” is published by Concordia Publishing House, the publishing arm of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). With a strong focus on Bible stories, prayer, and Christ-centered values, "One in Christ" nurtures children’s spiritual growth and helps them shine their light—reflecting God's love in their everyday lives. Through fun and interactive activities, your child will explore their faith, learning to live as a light for others while growing closer to Christ.

Before & After School Care

Our before & after school program is designed with working parents in mind, offering pick up and drop off from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Parents & primary caregivers will have peace of mind knowing their school-age children have a safe, reliable place to catch the bus and get to and from any school in the Hutchinson area. After school, kids can grab a snack, get started on their homework, or just enjoy some free time with friends.

Summer Care

Our summer program offers a safe, Christ-centered environment where school-aged kids can enjoy their day filled with fun activities, time with friends, and loving care. Open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., it's the perfect place for children who aren’t quite ready to stay home alone, giving them a supportive space to grow, deepen their faith, and have fun throughout the summer.
