Saint Paul Christian Childcare Center
Our Mission
St. Paul Christian Child Care Center is a ministry of St. Paul United Methodist Church. It is our desire to provide a safe Christian environment where young children are encouraged to grow and develop spiritually, emotionally, cognitively, socially, and physically. We offer education opportunities that enhance growth and development through hands-on, age-appropriate activities and experiences. We strive to provide an atmosphere where parents can leave their children knowing they will be loved and well taken care of in their absence. This ministry of St. Paul United Methodist Church desires to minister to the needs of the whole child regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic background.
Our Objective
In keeping with our philosophical belief in the education of the “whole child”, our curriculum combines informal experience with learning. The teacher’s role is nurturer and facilitator. The curriculum is both “content-oriented” and developed around themes which provide opportunities for the children to learn about God’s world and how to live in it. We maintain that young children thrive in an atmosphere that is caring, stimulating and personal.
Programs Available
We have three different programs at Saint Paul Children's Learning Center.
- We have a Mothers Morning Out program which is from 8:00am to 12:00pm Monday thru Friday.
- We have a full day program. The full day program is from 6:45am to 6:00pm Monday thru Friday.
- After school / Summer camp program. This program is for school age children. We pick children up from 6 different schools during the school year. During the summer we have a camp for the school age children. The teacher plans 2 field trips a week. She has fun learning activities planned each week.
