FacilityMorningStar is a ministry of
the Grace Brethren Church of Lititz and meets in the church building. The Early
Childhood wing was added in 1990 and consists of 10 rooms dedicated to
educational use and two nurseries totaling over 15,000 square feet. Each room is
equipped with a small refrigerator and sink. Nine of the 12 rooms have an
attached bathroom. A full size gymnasium (10,000 square feet) is used for indoor
physical activities. Two outdoor playgrounds and a full sized baseball/soccer
field provide physical activity during good weather. A commercial kitchen,
annually inspected by U.S. Department of Public Welfare and U.S. Department of
Agriculture is used to make the daily lunches.

Computers
MorningStar is aware of and values the importance of
computer technology
in the lives of young children. Each classroom is equipped with computers. Important
skills such as eye hand coordination, one to one correspondence, and cause and effect
relationships are just a few of the many benefits to young children through computer
technology. Academic skills reinforced include math and reading.
Fire Drills
MorningStar conducts a monthly fire drill in an attempt to keep the children and
staff prepared for an evacuation at all times.
Security
All employees of Grace Church, MorningStar Christian Daycare, Preschool &
Kindergarten and Lititz Christian School wear photo identification badges that
identify them as staff members. Additionally, all the exterior doors are locked
during the school day - daycare parents and teachers have "electronic keys" that
allow them access to the building.
