Early education is an important building block in children's
lives. During these years children through play learn the skills of
cooperation, problem-solving and self-worth. Staff members at
Christian Child Care make it their business to nurture these
qualities.
Christian Child Care is already planning for summer activities.
This year's summer theme is "Reuse, Recycle and Rejoice." Summer
registrations are being accepted now.
Also this summer the center will have evaluators come to observe
for accreditation. It will be an exciting time for teachers and
staff to make sure they are ready for this big step in establishing
and proving quality by accreditation standards.
April 22 the center is having a drive-by pork chop dinner. Tickets
are $8. Call Coleen Moore, director, at 732-5750 for more
information on tickets and openings for summer registration.
