A Bright Beginning for Every Child

Since 2016, Birdie’s Nest has been a trusted place for families looking for safe, caring, and flexible child care. We welcome children from infancy through to school age, offering age-appropriate learning, playful exploration, and a strong sense of community rooted in Christian values.

Our Classes

Care for Every Stage of Early Childhood

From first steps to first friendships, our classes are built to meet your child right where they are. With caring teachers and engaging activities, each program helps build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Infants

Our infant rooms are safe spaces away from older children where our infants can explore, play, refine their fine and gross motor skills, and nap peacefully.

Toddlers

Our toddler room is for children who have celebrated their first birthday. In this room, they will begin to explore more of the world around them, create art projects, sing songs, read books, and have outdoor time.

Early Preschool

These rooms are for our 2 and 3 year old children. They get to start developing early literacy skills, discover more arts and crafts, and begin to refine their social skills.

Preschool

We partner with the Davenport Community School District to offer free preschool to qualifying 4-year-olds. Our preschool classes are taught by licensed and certified preschool teachers.

School Age

We offer summer and after school care for older children, with time for homework, activities, and play in a safe environment.

Testimonials

What parents say

We’re honored to play a part in your child’s early years. Here’s what some of our amazing families have shared.

As a new mom navigating life post-pandemic and returning to the workforce, I was full of nerves and uncertainty when it was time to send my son to daycare. The entire staff made the transition very comfortable for both my son and I from multiple photos and updates throughout the day to seeing his smiling face at pickup. Their patience, compassion, and genuine love for the children shines through in everything they do. My son has grown so much emotionally, socially, and developmentally since starting here. They’ve been more than I ever could’ve asked for in a daycare. I will forever be grateful for the role they’ve played in our family’s journey. I highly recommend BNCCC to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only be cared for, but truly loved!

The Daycare is amazing. The Teachers/ Staff there are so helpful people. My oldest went here and now my youngest does. They are very great with kids.

Tiffany H Parents

There's not another place I could ever imagine sending my kids! I have two kiddos that attend, a 2 year old and school ager. We have been there for almost 6 years now and many more to come! Their staff is the best around and my girls love them all so much. All of the staff is quick to answer any questions, keep us updated throughout the day, and accommodate any allergies or health concerns. They always have fun activities planned and things coming to the daycare for the kiddos to do. Holidays are always so much fun with class parties, Easter egg hunt, and Trunk or treat every year. Summer is nonstop fun with splash days, bounce house days, field trips for the older kiddos, and some sweet treats. We love this daycare so much 🫶

Alexis S Parents

Birdies Nest is the Best! They have such highly trained and certified staff. Everyone there is so friendly and you can tell they truly have a passion for working with young kids. They also have lots of developmentally appropriate activities for all ages. My son runs out the door every morning so excited to get to Birdies. It is such a relieving feeling to know they are safe, loved, and learning while I am at work. On top of that, I love their family events they host. There isn’t another place I would want to send my babies! I know they are in the best hands.
