Our hours of operation are from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. In the First Baptist Church sanctuary there is a beautiful stained glass window. It portrays the scene from the scriptures of families bringing their children to Jesus and commending them to his care. It is the Center’s goal to extend this loving care to the children and families that we serve. Our philosophy of care is based on Judeo-Christian values, including trust, respect for all persons, and love. Our curriculum includes appropriate value based, non-denominational Bible stories. It is our goal to give your child a happy, safe experience outside their home. The Children’s Center does not discriminate the enrollment of children on the basis of race, color, religious creed, disability (no wheelchair access), ancestry, national origin, age or sex.
