Child Development Center
The New Hope Child Development Center is a wonderful program for children from ages 20 months to 5 years of age. Our curriculum is designed to meet the development needs of each child. Our unit themes revolve around topics that are important in an child's world Each teacher will design her activities according to the developmental ages of the children and their interests. We believe that a "hands-on" experience is an ideal method of learning. New Hope Child Development Center is very proud of its teachers. They are well trained and very dedicated to early childhood education. All are actively involved in continuing education and the latest ideas and techniques in early childhood. Our goal is to provide a place where children can grow spiritually while they develop basic learning skills, motor coordination, and great self esteem. We at New Hope Child Development Center believe that children learn best through active play in settings that are designed to facilitate learning. Our teachers have prepared an environment that stimulates and promotes physical, social, cognitive, spiritual, and emotional growth. We want your child to enjoy a happy and relaxed atmosphere where he can learn as he plays. New Hope Child Development Center is accredited by the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC). The school and staff are reviewed every three years to meet the high standards of NAC. Detailed curriculum and class offering brochures are available for download.
