Mission Statement And Philosophy

It is our goal at Seminole United Methodist Child Care Center to
help children develop socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively
and spiritually through active participation and play. The staff
works together as a team to provide a warm and loving atmosphere
for children and their families. Our Christian environment is set up
to help children grow and develop through active participation and
play. We enjoy children and promote experiences that will enrich
their lives and help them feel successful. The school atmosphere is
designed to be relaxed, informal, accepting, positive and a fun
place. Learning centers set up in each room will help children learn
through sensory experiences, exploration, manipulation,
observation and imitative play. Our programs based on
developmentally appropriate activities for each age group. Our staff
members use positive discipline techniques based on Christian
Love. They praise children's good efforts and accomplishments.
