This is why it is a requirement that all of our employees receive CPR, First Aid, and Fire Safety training, as well as their required clearances.  We also mandate that each employee take a minimum of 6 hours of additional education classes per year.  Our goal is to provide a safe, yet Christ-centered environment for your child.

Hello, My name is Dawn Schran and I am the Assistant Daycare Director here at Walnut Grove. I have been a member of Walnut Grove Assembly of God practically since before I was born, My parents were one of the first families to attend when the church started in 1982. I gave my life to God at the age of 7, and have been serving the lord ever since. I love Walnut Grove Assembly of God and look at it as my second home. I am very involved in many aspects of the church. I have helped with sunday school, Vacation Bible School, taught for our Wednesday night program, provided childcare for many different activities, sang in the choir, and helped to start a singles ministry.  I have had  experience caring for children for over half my life. I attended CCAC where I received  my Associate's Degree in Business Management and completed  most coursework towards an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been on 2 mission's trips to Mexico where I did outreaches in the communities. In my free time I like to read, spend time with family and friends, go explore God's creation, and have fun making things.
