Philosophy/History

—Our Mission:

Trying to find the right childcare facility can be a difficult ask but once you find the right center that meets your families needs it makes all the difference.

CanaanLand Child Development Center is a Christian based early childhood development center. At CanaanLand we focus on individual age-appropriate educational development to help children cognitively, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. CanaanLand provides a safe, clean, and healthy environment because we understand these are just as important as education and development.

—Our Philosophy:

Canaan Land Child Development Center offers continuous care from 6 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. The center is not meant to be a substitute for home or parental training; but a compliment to it, reaffirming those things which make for a stable environment. The program allows a child to spend part of his/her day in a child oriented world especially planned for him/her. He/she will learn to associate with other children in an environment conducive to good health while being guided toward a happy, wholesome spiritual life. A nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack are served daily.

—Our Location:

Canaan Land Child Development Center is conveniently located in the Historical Heritage Hill district  just minutes from Downtown Grand Rapids, on the corner of  Cherry and Madison.We are housed in Faith Ministries Center Church.

— Our History

Owner Donna Spearman has always had a special place in her heart towards children. As co-pastor with her husband Apostle David Spearman she wanted to offer something that would not only benefit the families at their church, Faith Ministries Center, but the community as a whole. In 1998 her vision of CanaanLand came to pass. CanaanLand has now been in business for more than 10 years and hundreds of families have entrusted us with caring for and educating their children.
