Daycare Now Enrolling Full Time and Part Time
Children eligible for enrollment must be the ages of walking one-year-old through 5th grade.
Cost
There is a re-registration fee per child due each new school year for all Daycare children. Weekly fees vary by age group. Bethel Daycare Ministry also provides before and after school care for school-aged children. Summer programs are also available.
Daycare Program
It is the philosophy of Bethel Daycare Ministry that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring, and discovery. The staff strives to nurture self-confidence, respect, and creativity in a warm and caring Christian environment. Our purpose is to provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth and development of the child as a whole.
Planned within the framework of philosophy and purpose, Bethel's curriculum includes the following: sharing and conversation time; stories and songs; arts and crafts; games and large motor activities; science and nature activities; and exposure to shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. As a ministry, we present daily biblical stories for the children to respond to through songs, prayers, and creative activities.

Parents must not bring a child to the Daycare if the child shows any signs of illness or is unable to participate in the normal routine and regular program of the Daycare. Should such illness be contagious, the parent needs to inform the Daycare and must secure a physician's written release prior to returning the child to the Daycare. Should the child become ill during attendance, the parent will be contacted and must come for the child within an hour of contact.
The vacation policy allows parents freedom from full payment a maximum of two weeks annually (September through August). There is a nominal charge for a vacation week.
Children are eligible for enrollment at Bethel Daycare Ministry if they are between the ages of walking one-year-old through 5th grade provided programming and enrollment space exists. We will enroll only those children who are at a stage of growth and development which enables them to benefit from the care and educational program. We cannot provide service to any child whose needs cannot be met or whose behavior endangers other children.
