About ELC at Candy Cane Corner

Candy Cane is a Christian Child Care Center that  began in 1983 by two school teachers that wanted a place for their children to learn, grow and excel academically.  The foundation of that dream is still our goal today. 

We offer a loving environment for ages 6 weeks to 12 years.  As well as participate in the CACFP food program to ensure that the children have healthy, nutritious meals daily.
