Purpose
Christ Methodist Day Care offers parents peace of mind by providing a nurturing
and educational Christian environment and the highest quality care
possible for their children.
Accredited
by the National Association for the Education of Young Children,
the center provides a qualified teaching staff,
small classes, and low child/teacher ratios. We strive to meet
the individual
needs of each child, while encouraging
physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Children born before June 1st are eligible for the school year beginning in August. We accept children from ages 2.5 months through two years old.
Daily Activities
Activities vary according to the needs and developmental stages
of the children. Infants are on individual schedules with lots
of one-on-one
attention. Toddlers
and Twos enjoy a planned curriculum that includes learning centers, thematic
units, Bible, stories, music, art, cooking activities, language, math,
science, circle time, outside play, rest time, etc.
Snacks & Lunch
Parents of infants provide formula and baby food as required for their children.
For older children, the Center provides morning and afternoon snacks with juice
and milk at lunchtime. Children bring lunches from home. Microwaves are available
for warming food.

A non-refundable application fee of $50 for the first child and $15 each for
subsequent children is due when your application is submitted in order to secure
