About the Provider
St. James Brethren Church exists to worship God, to build up the Body of Christ and to bring others to faith in Him. KING'S KIDS is an outreach ministry through which we hope to fulfill this mission. King's Kids opened in August of 2003 with an after school program. In August 2005 we opened the Child Care center including children from 6 weeks of age to 12 years old. We currently have 4 classrooms and an after school program. In December 2008, our center was accredited with the Maryland State Department of Education which took a lot of hard work and dedication from the staff and parents to accomplish. The classrooms follow the creative curriculum along with placing some Bible lessons in with their themes.
