Children's Day Out (CDO): 9:05 am- 2:35 pm
For children who are one, two, and three years old by September 1st.

Children will engage in dramatic play, sensory activities, art, stories, Bible Time, music, and outdoor play in a nurturing environment that allows children to thrive. Teachers will lovingly guide children as they work on their social and emotional development; learning to separate from parents, beginning to empathize with others, making transitions, and practicing self-control. Children will eat lunch in the classrooms and nap in the afternoon.

-
develop large motor skills through activities such as jumping, dancing, and playing on the playground.
-
develop fine motor skills by playing with playdoh, puzzles, painting, and drawing.
-
develop language skills through singing, dramatic play, and listening to stories.
