CHRISTIAN CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER    

      A ministry of First Baptist Church, Phenix City, Alabama, the Christian Child Development Center (C.C.D.C.) was created to serve children ages six weeks though twelve years. With a supportive, Christian environment, the Center offers age-appropriate classes for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. C.C.D.C. is the only faith based center in Phenix City that is licensed by the Alabama Department of Human Resources. C.C.D.C. complies with all policies and procedures established for staff-pupil ratios, teacher training, and health and safety regulations. Of the faculty, 54% of the teachers have been with the center for over five years. All staff must meet the training standards required by the State of Alabama and are certified in CPR/First Aide. The staff of C.C.D.C. were among the first in the State to be awarded the Alabama Early Learning Guidelines Credential. This is part of the no child left behind program implemented by President Bush.

      Located on the spacious campus of First Baptist Church, the center is contained within two separate buildings. The Annex is equipped to serve our infants and toddlers. Infant and toddler classes furnish a variety of sensory motor and preoperational experiences fostering the growth and development of children up to approximately thirty months of age. Our main building holds Preschool and school-aged children and has a gymnasium for rainy-day activities. Daily lesson plans, schedules, and calendars are followed to offer enriching and stimulating activities for the students.

      An Outreach Ministry of First Baptist Church, the Christian Child Development Center attempts to meet the intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual needs of young children. The Center is open weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Visits from parents and other community members are welcomed.
