First Baptist Church established the Child Development Center to meet the community's need for quality child care and preschool education.
After 26 years of quality service, our Child Development Center (CDC) has developed a fine reputation for being a wonderful place for children to grow and learn.
The Center is designed to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children learn through play.
Our program is based upon principles of growth and development which provide guidelines for age-appropriate activities suited to the needs and abilities of the individual child.
We view each child as a special gift from God, created uniquely, deserving our respect, care, and guidance.
We hope to foster a positive self-image as well as develop independence and self-reliance in each child.
