Child DevELOPMENT Center

Government Street Baptist Child Development Center offers an Early Education program for children six weeks through three years old. The program was established by Government Street Baptist Church to provide quality education and childcare in a safe, loving, Christian environment. The school serves as an extension of the home, seeking to educate the whole child – spiritually, cognitively, emotionally, socially, and physically. We do this while meeting or exceeding the AL state requirements for teacher/child ratio in all classes. 

CURRICULUM:                                                                                                                                                                                                                             We use Bob Jones University Press’s Pathways for Preschool program, designed specifically for K2 and K3 and based on much research, the program is developmentally appropriate.  Young learners will delight in learning new things as they meet daily with fun characters, songs, rhymes, games, crafts, stories, learning activities, and more, students will learn through play. 

Our 18-24 month classes use a curriculum from ABC Jesus Loves Me, because it’s never too early to begin teaching your toddler.  This curriculum includes comprehensive learning for: Academics, Bible, Development (Fine and Gross Motor), Music, and Self-care. Teachers use a hands-on approach when planning the curriculum and learning centers in all age groups are an integral part of each day. Classroom instructions in all subject areas are based on God’s Word.

SAFETY:                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Safety is an utmost priority for us.  We have our outer doors locked at all times, visitors must ring a doorbell to be allowed entrance after determining their reason for visit.  We have detailed safety procedures in place to ensure your children are safe while in our care.  We conduct emergency drills (fire, inclement weather, lockdown) on a routine basis.

COMMUNICATION:                                                                                                                                                                                                       Parents are informed of progress and updated throughout the day using our Procare Mobile App and other papers may be sent home regularly.
