CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER BROCHURE


CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER PARENT HANDBOOK
The First United Methodist Church CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER was established in 1968 in response to a growing need for quality preschool childcare for the residents of Salisbury and surrounding areas. We are licensed by the State of North Carolina as a Five Star Childcare Center serving children from three to five years of age. Our teachers are approved and accredited by the North Carolina Division of Child Services.

Each child enrolled in our Child Development Center is presented with a variety of learning opportunities daily, including both structured activities and supervised free-play, and is encouraged to explore and experience his or her world in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. All activities and materials are designed to be age-appropriate and to meet the social, intellectual, emotional, and physical needs of the child. Our classrooms implement the developmentally appropriate, state-approved Creative Curriculum for Preschool which includes biannual developmental assessments. These assessments enable our staff to plan and focus instruction on specific areas of growth according to the child's need. The assessment results are shared with parents through individual parent conferences.

As a church-based childcare center, we also make every effort to teach and to model Christian values. The children who participate in our program are introduced to Biblical teachings that we believe will instill in them a sense of self-worth and responsibility to others. Our weekly chapel services, conducted by church staff, give children an opportunity to hear stories, sing songs, and learn Bible verses that will enhance their spiritual development.

Our safe facility provides surveillance cameras at electronically locked entrances for optimum security. Security cameras are also located in each classroom and on the enclosed courtyard playground, which is totally surrounded by church buildings, and, therefore, offers an increased measure of security. Our center also follows Safe Sanctuary Guidelines requiring at least two approved adults with children at all times.
Picture
Our center operates from 6:30am until 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Children are served breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack according to the nutritional standards set by the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program. We welcome your visit to our center for a tour and to learn more about our program.

This is a state funded, high quality pre-kindergarten educational program designed to enhance school readiness and prepare four-year-olds for Kindergarten. To meet the age requirements your child  must be four on or before August 31, 2019.
