Description: Our preschool began over 30 years ago in the Spring of 1982 as a Mother’s Day Out program at Yale Avenue Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). This one day per week program, initially 9-2:30 on Friday, was a big help to stay-at-home moms who just needed a break from the kids! However, the idea caught on quickly and in the Autumn of that same year, a second day, Tuesday, was added. Through the ensuing decades, the program continued to expand to five days. The service hours were expanded to 7:30a—5:30p for accommodation of working families. In October of 2002, the preschool was approved as a licensed two star preschool under the auspices of the Oklahoma Department of Human services. This transitioning ministry evolved into a Christian early learning center for infants through Pre-K. The preschool was incorporated November 12, 2004 as a not-for-profit corporation and received IRS 501 c3 approval as a public charity May 24, 2006. The preschool continues to be affiliated with and a ministry of Yale Avenue Christian Church.
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.

My children attended this preschool. There were several occasions where I was worried about safety. Especially when it comes to infants and babies, this should never be a concern. We changed schools and I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.
