About Our Center Our Child Development Center offers full-day care for six-week old infants through Pre-Kindergarten. All students enjoy a fun-filled learning environment. Infants enjoy being rocked, loved, music, reading, and floor activity time. Toddlers are encouraged to be creative through play and hands on activities. Our teachers incorporate learning about God’s love through nursery rhymes, nature, animals and reading. Pre-school students enjoy circle time, children’s church, and class time. Full day students take time out for lunch and a nap. Afternoons are filled with outdoor activities, gym time on rainy days, and an occasional movie. During the summer months children enjoy picnics, water play, and theme days. Our Goal Our goal is to provide children with experiences that will meet the educational needs of their early childhood years within the context of a healthy, Christian environment. We seek to accomplish this by providing children with opportunities for growth in all areas—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The Center strives to serve as a child's natural step from home to school. We recognize the value of play in a child’s development. Classes include self-selection at learning centers, creative art projects, music, story time, dramatic platy, outdoor activities, and Bible. Pre-School Our children begin a curriculum based pre-school program at two years old. The two year old class begins learning about counting, colors, shapes, and the alphabet. The three year old class builds upon what has already been learned and adds letters and sounds, number skills, fine motor skills, and introduction to the computer. The four year old class continues to add to their knowledge; writing with phonics, readiness skills, ladder blends, and computer skills. All of our classes use the ABeka Book curriculum which is designed to provide Christian schools with God-honoring, high quality textbooks and teaching aids to help teachers excite children to learning. The Stars Program Our Child Development Center has been awarded three stars (the highest award given) by The Tennessee Department of Human Resources for the following: Director Qualifications, Professional Development, Compliance History, Parent/Family Involvement, Ratio & Group Size, Staff Compensation, and Program Assessment which includes Space & Furnishings, Personal Care Routines, Listening & Talking, Activities, Interaction, Program Structure, Parents and Staff, Language and Reasoning.
