Description: The Center has been ministering to families and children for over 35 years! Our website is designed to provide you with resources about our many programs.

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.

The staff at this Center are amazing! They are the next best thing to me staying at home with my child - and I know that they are being cared for in a nurturing environment. I use this Center mostly for summer, but they do have before and after care, and serve young kids during the school day. My kids look forward to the adventures that they have at the Center, and I feel that they are constantly learning! Also, I feel like the facility is safe and secure, too - a very important thing in this day and age!
