A Safe, Caring Environment
Every child deserves quality care in a safe and caring environment — both physically and emotionally.
About Us
Our Story & Our Heart
River of Life Daycare grew from a simple calling: to love and nurture the children of our community as if they were our own.
How We Began
Our Story
River of Life Daycare is a faith-based childcare rooted in the community of River of Life Church, at 5350 W Bethel Ave in Muncie, Indiana. Since opening in 1999, we've welcomed families from across Muncie and Delaware County, offering programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
We don't just teach — we help prepare children for their future, building on each child's interests, potential, and strengths with a warm, well-rounded curriculum.
We serve families from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM and provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day. Security cameras inside and out — including our outdoor playground — help keep every child safe and supervised.
Our Mission
Mission & Beliefs
At River of Life, we strive to provide a safe and loving environment where children can learn and grow, feeling valued and encouraged every day.
Respect for Every Child
Every child deserves to be respected as an individual, and is taught to respect teachers and peers as well.
Room to Succeed
Every child needs to feel success, and to be given the skills and opportunities to succeed both now and in the future.
Freedom to Grow
Every child should feel safe in trying new things — exploring, discovering, and reaching their full potential.
The Hands & Hearts
Our Faculty
Our faculty is composed of teachers who value knowledge, wisdom, patience, and kindness — many with years of experience in early childhood education. You can be confident your child is in caring, capable hands. All of our teachers are certified in CPR and First Aid.
Chosen with Care
Every teacher goes through a rigorous selection process — interviews, background checks, and skills assessments — measured against local, state, and national standards.
Experienced & Caring
Our teachers bring years of classroom experience and a genuine, caring heart for children, chosen for both their skill and their character.
A Warm Welcome Each Day
Our teachers greet children with warmth and patience, creating a caring space where every child feels safe, known, and encouraged.
