Description:
West Side Christian Daycare is an extension of our West Side Baptist Church Children's Ministry. We exist to minister to families in El Dorado and the surrounding areas by providing quality childcare based on a Biblical foundation.
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.
