As an outreach ministry of Forrest Burdette Memorial United Methodist Church, we are committed to nurturing children in body, mind, and spirit.

We hold an Attitude of Gratitude for God, Children, and the Families of COM. “Feed my sheep, tend my lambs” John 21:15.

To all children in our care, we are committed to:

• providing a supervised, safe and secure environment
• providing instruction in social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development
• encouraging the development of a positive self-image with respect and consideration for one another.

Our classroom environment is set up for ages six weeks to five year olds. We provide an enviornment that is warm and supportive and that encourages independence, self-confidence and a positive self-image. Our program supports growth and development in all learning areas by providing many materials and creative activities for exploration and skill acquisition. This learning provides play with purpose. We have an academic curriculum and Bible curriculum that are taught through hands-on experiences carefully planned and facilitated by knowledgeable teachers.

The program operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. We offer both a part-time and full-time program. Families may choose from our 2-day, 3-day, 4-day or 5-day program. Part-time children will attend from 8:30-12:00 p.m. or 8:30-1:30 p.m. The 2 year old part time program is 8:30-12:00 p.m. Full-time children will have care available from 7 a.m.- 6 p.m.The infant & toddler program will be full day care unless a schedule can be arranged among other families to fill a full time spot five days a week.

The Latchkey Afterschool and Summer Safari programs provide a supervised, safe place for elementary age children who need afterschool care. This program provides the children with a caring and supportive environment. The staff engages the children in physical, educational, and spiritual activities including art, games, outdoor play, homework time, field trips, and Bible curriculum.

The Latchkey Afterschool Program operates from the close of each school day until 6:00 p.m., as well as many days that Putnam County Schools are closed to students including IS, OS, holiday, and inclement weather days. When there is no school and during the summer months, the program operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 p.m.
