Description: First United Methodist Church Child Development Center is a learning center which strives to foster optimum growth and development in children between the ages of 8 weeks to 5 years. We endeavor to provide our young learners with a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that meets the social, intellectual, emotional, and physical needs of each individual child. We aim to provide high quality comprehensive childcare in a Christian atmosphere, where the individual child’s abilities and gifts are nurtured and developed.
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.
