About the Provider

Advertisement

The purpose of our Weekday Preschool Ministries is to be a service to  young children and their families.  Whether it is one or two days a week in Mother's Day Out or five days a week in our Preschool Care, we seek to bridge the gap between the home and weekday care in a loving Christian environment that provides challenge and stimulation for motor development as well as enrichment of social skills and a more perceptive awareness of the natural world around us. By teaching in this manner, we want to share with young families our faith in God and His abundant love and care for us. 

We have several Weekday Programs in which to choose.  All are quality programs with dedicated teachers who have intense love for preschoolers.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
