Quality Early Childhood Education
in the Lehigh Valley
At LifeSpan School and Day Care, we believe that high-quality early childhood education builds the foundation for lifelong success. Our caring teachers create a warm, welcoming environment that eases the transition from home to school while fostering each child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth.
Using the Creative Curriculum and Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards, we design engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that spark curiosity and encourage learning through pay. Families can also enjoy the added benefits of music, Spanish, and computer classes.
LifeSpan is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and Office of Child Development and Early Learning, and recognized by prepares children for first grade, and our Pennsylvania Keystone STARS for our commitment to excellence. Our highly trained staff, safe classrooms, and yearly inspections ensure a secure, nurturing pace for your child to grow.
Serving children ages 6 weeks through school age, we also offer before- and after-school programs for Kratzer Elementary, plus a full-day summer camp filled with learning, field trips, and fun.
Since 1993, LifeSpan has proudly served families across the Lehigh Valley. Conveniently located near Lehigh Valley Hospital, Muhlenberg College, and Cedar Crest College, we remain dedicated to helping children learn, thrive, and succeed.
