Welcome to Speedway United Methodist Child Care Ministry

Our goal is to provide quality care and education to the children entrusted to us. The program emphasizes strengthening, not substituting for, the family’s child-rearing capacities.

Each program offers stability in setting and staffing that gives the child needed security while offering a rich environment to stimulate the child. We strive to develop good communication between staff and parents. At the same time, we are resourceful and adaptable to the individual needs of the child.

We accept and appreciate the child’s culture, customs, and languages. The program provides for the health protection of the children while meeting their physical, emotional, and social communication needs. We effectively monitor each child’s development.

We are a “Paths to Quality Level 2″ Program (certificate below) working towards “Paths to Quality Level 3” status. Scroll down to see parent testimonials. We accept CCDF.

Caterpillars

Our two-year-olds learn about our Abeka curriculum and begin Indiana Foundations in this class. Building their sense of self, the physical and social world and creative arts with colors, music and dance along with early language and sounds are some fun ways we help our smallest children learn.

Butterflies

Our 2½ – 3-year-olds continue to learn faith-based Abeka learning and principles and expand upon early reading, early writing, numeracy, building relationships with their friends, science, citizenship, the arts, and health and well-being. Early communication with letters and sounds and early math skills are highlighted.

Ladybugs

Our 3 to 4-year-olds increase their learning of these academic resources based on Biblical values. Students learn, apply and master increasingly complex concepts and skills of the Abeka curriculum and the Indiana Foundations in preparation for pre-Kindergarten: Language Arts, Mathematics, Conflict resolution.

Pre-Kindergarten Class

Continuing to grow intellectually, morally and spiritually is our goal for our 4-5 year olds in the Pre-K class. Developing, achieving and even exceeding kindergarten readiness skills for some children will provide a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning is our goal in this age group.
