About Us...
Where Love and Learning Meet
The Bethel University Child Development Center serves toddler
and preschool children ages six weeks to six years in both
full-time and flexible part-time programs. The CDC is licensed
to serve 49 children. Children who attend the Child Development
Center will experience personal attention from pre-kindergarten
licensed teachers as well as college students who are preparing
to become professional early childhood educators. This creates
an opportunity for the children to be involved in many innovative
and creative learning experiences and be guided by individuals
who are knowledgeable in child growth and development.
A Wide Range of Activities for All
Bethel's Child Development Center provides a wide range
of activities for development in all areas. Learning centers
include science, math, creative art, dramatic play, block
play, manipulatives, literature, music and movement, large-motor
activities, sensory experiences, computer exploration, pre-writing,
and reading. Each day teachers design learning experiences
to meet the needs of the individual child as well as the
entire group.
Christian Environment
A Christian setting helps establish life-long values. As
part of a Christian community, teachers are able to pray
with the children and share God's love with them. There are
many opportunities when Bible stories are incorporated into
our curriculum, but the main Christian emphasis is through
teachers who have committed their lives to Jesus.
Why Choose Bethel?
Our college setting provides something you won't find anywhere
else. Our unique program of licensed professionals and college
education students provides experience with enthusiasm. Committed
to early childhood education, we combine the best of traditional
techniques and new methods for your child's benefit. We are
accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs.
