Central United Methodist Church

The Weekday Children's Ministries program is housed on the lower level of the education wing of the church. The facility may be entered through any of the three doors facing Church Street. Please drive slowly; there are children around.

Day Care is offered for infants six weeks through four years from 6:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. An After School Program is offered for K - Fifth grade, from school pickup to 6:00 P.M. We pick up from Benton Heights, Walter Bickett, and East Elementary Schools. Both programs are open year-round.              

Each child entrusted to our care has a special place in our hearts. Our goal is to provide a loving, Christian environment where our children feel secure, can grow in self-esteem, and gain a love of learning.

The center seeks to provide a stimulating and nurturing environment. Our curriculum is designed to meet the individual needs of each child. It includes stories, free play, sharing and conversation time, creative art activities, exposure to shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and celebration of birthdays and holidays. Teachers plan in units that may last from one to four weeks.

Unless space is available to promote children, they will be promoted on the last week of August. Tuition is the same August to August regardless of age unless the child is physically promoted to the next class.
