Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade Holy Cross Child Development Center (CDC) provides both developmental learning experiences and quality child care and education in a Christian environment. We recognize the uniqueness of each child and offer a wide variety of opportunities for growth. We provide the children a positive, creative, stimulating, orderly Christian environment to develop and learn. Our program consists of play, hands-on experiences, and learning centers. We believe young children learn more rapidly when given numerous opportunities to experience first hand the wonders of God's world. It is our hope to provide a well-rounded program to develop the whole child, who is able to enjoy continued success in school. A Christian home gives a child his or her first Christian training and instruction. We desire to share in this spiritual responsibility with you by providing a loving, warm, secure environment where children receive Christian care, nurture, and education. We will also assist and support parents as they nurture their child's growth physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually through the early school years. The staff of the CDC will strive to: Have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Provide each child age-appropriate Christian training and instruction. Assist each child in the adjustment from home to school life. Help each child learn to cope with life's situations at his/her level of maturity.
