30 years on the same campus.
Same family. Same one-acre playground.
Same commitment to a small-center feel where every child is known by name.
Rooted in family. Guided by care.
One World opened its doors more than three decades ago with a simple idea: a preschool doesn't have to feel like an institution. It can feel like a second home — structured, warm, and grounded in real relationships between teachers and families.
Three generations later, we're still on the same Briggs Chaney Road campus, still family-owned, and still small enough that every parent knows their child's lead educator by name.
We've grown as a daycare — adding new classrooms, a second playground, and incorporating The Creative Curriculum for our preschool-age children. Today, we use Brightwheel to keep families connected to their child's day in real time — but the heart of this place hasn't changed.
Curious minds. Joyful discovery. Meaningful growth.
Children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and free to explore. Our approach blends consistent routines with rich, play-based learning.

From Our Families

"The care at One World is top notch."
Our daughter has been in the infant and now Toddler classes for the last 1.5 years and is well cared for and in good hands. The center coordinates many activities for the children to engage them throughout the day. We raised minor concerns about communication and they were addressed immediately. With their hours from 6:30-6:30 this works great for our family’s schedule. Our second child will be starting at the center in the new year. We cannot say enough about One World and would recommend them to any family!

Because OneWorld is family!
They have been in my life for over 20 years. My twin siblings walked in this place in 2003. And my twin baby girls started in 2023! We loved them so much that we had to come back.

“One World has been nothing but positive”
I enrolled my son in One World Early Learning Center after a very careful search for a place that he would thrive emotionally, socially and physically. After meeting the center's director and seeing my son connect with his teachers instantly, I knew I found the right place. I found warmth and kindness. He was about 18 months at the time. Now, he is 3 and a half. My experience at One World has been nothing but positive ... from the TLC and learning, to the fun and friendships he's developed with the other kids. Definite thumbs up.
