At Comfort and Joy, we hold the conviction that education starts with young minds. We employ a variety of stimulation techniques to ensure that our youngest students remain engaged and enthusiastic about discovering their surroundings. Our infants participate in activities that include visual stimulation, art, fine motor skills, gross motor exercises, daily reading sessions, infant circle time, and additional enriching experiences.

We hold the conviction that play is a form of learning. Through play, students gain insights into their surrounding environment. Our classrooms and outdoor areas are equipped with numerous interactive learning centers designed to facilitate exploration and engagement. These centers encompass a variety of subjects, including blocks, dramatic play, manipulatives, art, science, mathematics, and language arts.

Our knowledgeable team is committed to fostering your child's development. We implement comprehensive lesson plans designed to provide a stimulating experience for every student, emphasizing Social Emotional Skills, Language, Art, Physical Development, and Literacy, all in accordance with the Oklahoma Early Learning Guidelines.

At Comfort and Joy, we provide FIVE meals each day, including an early morning snack for our first guests, breakfast, a late morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snacks.

Each of our culinary offerings is prepared with the same attention and quality that we would extend to our own families.

Comfort and Joy Child Development Center operates as a Home Child Development Center, delivering outstanding childcare services in the Oklahoma City and Tinker Airforce Base region.

I find Mrs. Mistina Crane to be a true treasure in the world of childcare. Over the years her kindness and willingness to conversate with me in regard to my child after hours has been both a reassurance to a scared new mom and a testament to the phenomenal individual that she is.

Mistina truly puts her heart and soul into all of the children under her care, helping with their educational development as well as meeting their daily needs. Her willingness to reinforce what we were doing at home allowed our son quickly understand and learn sign language, his colors, numbers, and so many other things. She taught valuable motor and cognitive skills with her creative lessons and crafts, allowing him to make something beautiful while enjoying learning. -KC

Mrs. Crane has shown on multiple occasions her passion for children and the continuing of their education. She listens with an open mind as well as an open heart, her attention to detail is what sets her apart from her peers.
