About the Provider
Life 4 Kidz Child Development Center has been established as a service to families and children of the community. This service has grown out of a sincere love for children and a desire to help them develop and adjust to our modern world.
The mission of our center is to provide a caring, hope-filled foundation to enrich the lives of children by offering activities to enhance their sense of positive self-worth. This is accomplished by providing a high quality, Christ-centered educational program for young children: care that parents can trust, through a developmentally appropriate and supportive environment that encourages individuality and self-confidence within the child.
Our Center offers a curriculum where children are invited to grow, learn, and socialize. This encourages individuality that enhances a good self-concept. Stimulation is provided through developmentally appropriate curriculum. We feel childcare should be based on constructive learning experiences designed to strengthen individual and group needs in the classroom.
