OUR PHILOSOPHY

 It is our desire to give children a well-rounded education about themselves, our world, and in the things of God.  Children develop a positive self-concept through a balance of self and teacher-directed activities.  Staff serves as positive role models and provides care that is supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child�s needs.  We respect parents as the primary and most important provider of care and nurturing, and we believe parents and teachers are partners in children�s care and education.  

 

 PURPOSE - The Nazarene Christian Child Care Center was established in 1976 as a ministry of the First Church of the Nazarene and continues to operate in this capacity.  This Center endeavors to provide a needed service for families of our community desirous of quality care for their children.  

 

GOALS:

A.      To exercise Christian principles in attitudes and actions so that they are reflected in teaching methods, activities, and atmosphere.

 

B.      To present the opportunity for children in our care to experience a well balanced program designed to promote their spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth.

 

C.   To minister to the needs of the families represented in our Center
