Home Child Care in Eugene, Oregon
Safe, nurturing, certified family childcare for your child
At Ascensions Child Development Program in Eugene, we provide licensed, high-quality home child care for children ages 1โ12. Unlike larger centers, our small group size (just 12 children now, expanding to 16) and low ratio (1:10) allows us to create a warm, family-like environment where every child feels seen, supported, and cared for.
What Is Home Child Care โ And Why Families Love It
Home child care combines the comfort of a home setting with the structure of professional child development. Parents choose home care because it offers:
Smaller groups and more individual attention
A familiar, cozy environment that eases transitions
Stronger relationships between caregivers, children, and families
Mixed-age learning that builds empathy, leadership, and cooperation
Flexibility for families with varied work and school schedules
At Ascensions, children arenโt just enrolled; they become part of a caring community that feels like family.

Mixed-Age Care Thatโs Safe and Supportive
We welcome children from toddlers to 12 years old, and we know some parents may wonder if this age range is safe. Rest assured, our structure makes it a strength, not a risk:
Close supervision at all times โ Our low ratios ensure safety is the top priority.
Separate play zones & activities โ Younger children have safe, age-appropriate areas, while older children engage in more challenging activities.
Positive role modeling โ Older children often act as โhelpers,โ showing kindness and patience while younger children gain confidence by watching and learning.
Family-style environment โ Just like siblings at home, children naturally learn cooperation, respect, and empathy.
A Place to Play, Discover & Grow โ Indoors and Out
Step outside and youโll find a safe, engaging outdoor area designed for adventure:
Soft playground bark underfoot for safe tumbles and active play
A climbing structure to build confidence and motor skills
A teeter-totter for giggles, teamwork, and core strength
Bright balls, sandpits, and water play areas for creativity and sensory fun
Wide-open spaces to run, explore, and enjoy nature
Inside, our days are guided by play-based, child-led learning. Using gentle scaffolding, our caregivers provide just the right level of support, encouraging children to explore, discover, and achieve new milestones in their own time.
