Description: Safe Hands Learning Center is an outreach ministry of Central Apostolic Faith Mission (CAFM), located at 6116 Vernedale Rd, Charlotte NC. Our goal is to provide a positive, supportive, learning environment that offers each of our students the opportunity to cultivate his or her talents and gifts. We provide childcare services for infants, toddlers and pre-school children in our Day Care Center. After-school care is available for school age children thru age 12. We also offer summer day camp for school age children during CMS summer break. Our teachers are all CPR certified and have over three years experience working with children.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Safe Hands Learning Center has provided excellent childcare services for my children for the last 8yrs. The staff and director are always attentive to the daily needs of the children and family. Providing the infants, toddlers and preschoolers with a learning environment that prepares them for school is a primary focus. The Afterschool program provides a supportive, fun environment for the children after a full day at school. I highly recommend this program!
