Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Child Development Center

Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Child Development Center is part of the overall ministry of Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Church. This ministry to nurture young children and their families and to provide a warm Christian environment for growth and learning while also recognizing and valuing families and family life as an integral part of the ministry. Saxe Gotha CDC provides developmentally appropriate care and

education for children ages two through four years through our Preschool program and ages three through fifth grade through our After School program. Care is taken to provide an environment which is both stimulating and nurturing. We offer a place where children actively participate in a variety of experiences designed to encourage the development of the whole child: physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Guidelines developed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) are the criteria by which our teaching practices are determined. All of our student/teacher ratios are well below DSS guidelines. The emphasis of our program is on developing social skills and competency in everyday dealings with both people and objects in the world around us. Each child’s development of a positive self-image and the ability to make choices is important to us. In all we do, we are striving to lay a firm foundation for Christian faith as each child matures and grows in his understanding of who God is and his or her importance to God.
