"With God at our center and parents as our partners, we will nurture the total child emotionally, physically, and spiritually."
It's that time of year again to register for preschool and after school care! Since I began working at COM almost six year ago, I have watched the program grow and change with wonderful new additions. From the addition of the infant/toddler program to the newly awaited addition of the building, COM has been blessed by the many changes that are supported by the families, staff, and church members of this great program. COM offers quality care to children 6 weeks to 12 years, so the families in our community can work, while having a safe and fun place to bring their children. COM staff work above and beyond to make a positive difference in the lives of the children they serve.
Our goals are to keep God at the center of our program, partner with parents for the best outcomes, and nurture each child emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My favorite part of working at COM is sharing and teaching the love of Jesus to the children. Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." As parents begin planning for child care, COM is ready and waiting to share wonderful experiences with your child and family!
Children's Outreach Ministries will be offering pre-registration to current families and church members for the fall school year and Summer Safari beginning February 6th. If you are interested in signing your child or grandchild up, please register from 6:00-7:00, February 6th, in the Narthex or in the preschool office before March 1st. COM will open registration to the public on March 1st. Enrollment forms must be filled out with a portion of the registration fee to reserve a spot for your child. Enrollment is done in a first come first serve fashion. Please don't wait; sign your child up today! For more information on registration, pricing, and the program, please contact the preschool office today at (304)562-9170. COM is looking forward to another great year of many exciting and wonderful things!
Sincerely,
Traci Dunmire
