Ridgeland Baptist Church Child Care Ministry
Purpose Statement
The purpose of our program, is to extend the ministry of and help accomplish the purpose of Ridgeland Baptist Church by providing care, education, and development for each child enrolled to his/her greatest potential-spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially. This is to be accomplished by providing developmentally appropriate activities and guidance, and by providing a program of ministry and outreach to the families of the children involved.
In order to achieve these goals, we commit to provide:
*A quality early childhood education program built on developmentally appropriate practives.
*Curriculum that is biblically based and includes Bible stories and thoughts appropriate to the child's level of understanding.
*Staff who profess Christ as Savior and exhibit Christian traits in caring for children and in interaction with families and coworkers.
*Positive guidance for children that encourages problem solving and managing negative emotions.
* Respect and understanding of others without regard to race, gender, nationality, religion, or background.
*Planned activities that permit each child to progress and enjoy success.
We sponsor this early childhood education program as a ministry of the church, to provide a learning environment that will help preschoolers grow, as Jesus grew.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with
God and man. (Luke 2:52)
