How it All Started

My name is Dawn Langer, and alongside my husband, RJ Langer, we are the proud founders of Nurture with Nature. We are blessed with two wonderful sons, now ages 28 and 17. With a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education (P-3) from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, and an endorsement in mild intervention, I have dedicated my life to nurturing young minds. RJ holds a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in Early Childhood Development, bringing his own passion and expertise to our mission.

Our journey began over 23 years ago with a small, licensed home daycare serving just 12 children. As our vision grew, so did our capacity. When RJ joined the family business full-time, we expanded to serve more families across multiple locations, eventually caring for 64 children across four sites. By 2022, the need in our community had grown even greater—we had more than 100 children on our waiting list.

Through the incredible generosity of our community, including the donation of a building and $100,000 in support, we were able to launch a new chapter. Today, we operate a licensed childcare ministry in Seelyville within a beautiful 25,000-square-foot facility, currently licensed to serve 133 children. This expansion would not have been possible without the faithful support and partnership of our local families and friends.

Looking ahead, we plan to continue both our home daycare operations and our growing childcare ministry. For our family, this is more than a business—it’s a calling. We are deeply committed to shaping young lives with love, purpose, and faith, and to planting seeds of knowledge and the love of Jesus in every child we serve. We are sincerely grateful for the community that continues to uplift and walk alongside us on this journey.
