a home away from home
We understand that when you drop your child off with us, you are trusting that they receive the level of care and attention that they would receive at home. We do our best every day to make that happen.
OUR CHURCH
College Park United
Here at College Park United, we pride ourselves in being an open and loving community of faith whose mission is to love big on those within our reach, including our wonderful littles at the CDC. Our Child Development Center is one of the most cherished aspects of our church, providing us with joy, light and wonder. Our school is a ministry of our church, although we certainly do not discriminate against any other faith-based backgrounds.
OUR SCHOOL
Child Development Center
We are a full-time childcare facility (7:45-5:00) that uses curriculum-based learning and developmentally appropriate programs to give your child the best care possible. Our mission is to accept each child as a unique individual, blessed with talents and gifts, worthy of recognition and praise, and to provide each child a safe, loving and effective Christian environment that promotes growing and learning in the light of His love.
Who We Are
Our Wonderful Staff
We are a community of educators and caretakers who have a passion for children and, while we have lots of fun with the kids, we take their growth and learning very seriously.
