Who We Are

Our Mission

Lion’s Den Day School’s mission is to provide affordable childcare to diverse families.

Welcome to Lion’s Den Day School!

Lion’s Den Day School was opened in 2007 by Anita and Reed Planchard.

Anita, an early childhood educator, and Reed, a former law enforcement officer, saw that their town needed an early childhood center and decided to fill that need.

With 7 children of their own, the Planchards have taken a very active role in the community over the last 25 years and participate in fundraisers and recreational events, as well as providing a Lion’s Den alumni scholarship each year. 


The center is open from 6:45 a.m. - 5:45 p.m. Monday through Friday.
