Weekday Preschool and Kindergarten

At Second Baptist Child Development Center our goal is to give your child a quality Christian education in a loving environment. It is our desire to meet the needs of each child spiritually, emotionally, socially and intellectually in order to prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow. We provide a safe and secure environment whereby the child feels free to take those important steps in learning, which will mold and shape their lives long after they have left our center. Each child is a unique gift from God and we count it a privilege to partner with parents to see that each one receives the foundation they need to achieve success.

For Each Child We Provide:

• Activities for intellectual stimulation at their level.
• Opportunities for maximum social growth.
• Assistance in sound emotional development
• Guidance in a Christian environment for basic spiritual development.

Every Child Needs

Love, Acceptance, Security, Guidance, Sense of Trust, Dependence and Independence and Control

Loving care is the best insurance a child will develop the security and positive attitude toward themselves they need to succeed in thier lifetime. Teachers team with parents to cultivate growth independence and self-respect.

All children must be potty trained.
