First United Methodist Church Child Development Center, founded in 1968, is a non-profit organization committed to providing quality, Christian early education and childcare for the residents of Salisbury and surrounding areas.
We endeavor to afford our young learners with a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that meets the social, intellectual, emotional, and physical needs of each individual child.
By actively forging partnerships with caregivers, we support family goals and cultivate a sense of community that empowers our parents.
