The purpose of the Alamance Presbyterian Child Development Center is to provide care and development for each child enrolled to his or her greatest potential spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially. This is accomplished by providing learning and developmental experiences consistent with Christian principles.
The Center provides services for children from 6 weeks old through 12 years old. The hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Programs are designed for full-time daycare for infants through 4-year-olds, a half-day program for 4-year-olds, and an after-school and full-time summer program for school-aged children.
The Alamance Presbyterian Child Development Center, which opened in 1984, is a not-for-profit institution and is governed by a Board of Directors that is responsible to the Session of the church. The Center is located in the Children's Education Building of Alamance Presbyterian Church.
The Staff of the Center consists of a Director, Assistant Director, Director of Food Services, and full-time and part-time teachers. Teachers have formal training in childcare and receive continuing education workshops throughout the school year. Tuition includes a nutritious, well-balanced hot lunch and a morning and afternoon snack.
The Center currently maintains six full-time classrooms for infant to four year old children and one part-time classroom for four year old students. Children ages 5 to 12 are received for after school care and can attend a full-time, fun and active summer camp from June to August.
The Center is inspected by the Guilford County Health Department, the Guilford County Fire Department and the North Carolina Child Day Care Licensing Consultant. The Center maintains an open door policy and visitors are welcome.
