OUR MISSION 

At Kingdom Rock Children’s Village we provide a quality education in a warm and loving environment, based on the teaching and examples of Jesus Christ. We seek to nurture and develop each child’s educational, social and spiritual potential. Our goal is that every child under our care would flourish and grow as a confident, unique creation of God, with a strong connection to others and their world, and be well-equipped for future learning.

OUR STORY 

Picture
Kingdom Rock Children’s Village is a non-profit Christian early learning environment located in Davis Square, Somerville that opened its doors to it's first student in 2017. Our goal is to be the most loving environment that families starting their first school experience can encounter. Our Director, Stacie Clayton wants Kingdom Rock to bridge the void that results from institutional policies in both private and public settings that restrict open signs of affection from teachers. We strongly believe that love and warmth from caregivers, along with models of virtue and faith, are essential to children’s healthy development. Not only do we make this a priority in how we care for children, but also in the environment we provide for parents. It is important for us to create a familial atmosphere where parents, students, and teachers feel safe, supported and valued. We create a partnership with all of our families, making sure to keep an open line of communication daily to share developmental
milestones and to constantly improve the care we provide for each
unique child. These are some  of  the  many  benefits  the intimacy of
​our smaller center has to offer.

Stacie Clayton: Founder

I started Kingdom Rock Children's Village to create an environment where genuine love and warmth was our number one priority.  We are constantly combining  Jesus' love, and the intimacy and feel of a small school with the latest research in psychology, sociology, and education. My dream was to create a village where love is the center of everything! ​
Stacie established Kingdom Rock Children's Village Inc. in July of 2015. She has a Masters of Arts degree from Tufts University in Child Study, and Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She has also been the Minister of Music and Choral Director of Somerville Community Baptist Church since 1994.

Outside of school, Stacie spends her time with her husband  and their 3 children who are all deeply involved in school sports.​
"The teachers are attentive and caring. They gear their lessons to the kid's ages and my girls have grown so much under their guidance. Stacie, the director, is wonderful! She clearly loves the kids and enjoys watching them grow!"
