The Ahava Difference – Where Every Child Thrives
A holistic, research-backed, play-based learning experience enriched with locally sourced nutrition, all-inclusive care, and individualized attention for your child.
Nutrition — Fueling Healthy Bodies & Minds
Wholesome, thoughtfully sourced meals served with intention.
At Ahava, we know that what children eat matters. Our balanced meals and snacks are thoughtfully prepared using whole foods that support growth, brain development, and healthy routines. Every menu is crafted with care, served fresh, and included at no extra cost.
- Whole foods first that are locally sourced
- Kid-approved taste with nutritional integrity
- Meals included — no hidden costs
From-Scratch Baby Food
Premade baby food is often heated and processed to the point that its natural flavor, texture, color, and nutrients are largely lost. At Ahava Child Care, our seasonal, homemade baby food preserves these qualities, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy and adventurous eating.
We provide three meals a day: a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack.
Our menu is free from:
- GMOs
- Artificial dyes
- High fructose corn syrup
- Antibiotics
- rBST
- Peanuts and tree nuts
We source organic produce for the “Dirty Dozen.”
We cater to individual dietary needs, ensuring every child enjoys safe + nutritious meals.

Ratios Matter — Personalized Attention That Makes a Difference
Smaller groups. Stronger relationships. Better learning.
We intentionally staff above state requirements to ensure every child receives meaningful attention. With an extra teacher in every classroom—and two extra in our infant rooms—children benefit from smaller, more connected groups. This leads to deeper engagement, stronger social-emotional growth, and a secure environment where every child feels seen and supported.
Academic Advantage — Preparing Children for Lifelong Success
A play-based curriculum that builds confident, curious learners.
Ahava’s play-based, research-backed curriculum supports the whole child. Through hands-on experiences, children build language, math, science, creative, and social-emotional skills in meaningful ways. Our Full Circle framework encourages exploration, confidence, and critical thinking, laying a strong foundation for future learning and success.
- Play-based & developmentally appropriate
- Language & literacy focus
- STEAM experiences woven into routines
