Holidays:

Our Mother’s Day Out Program will observe the same holidays that the Enterprise School system observes.

Weather Days:

In the event of bad weather, Hillcrest MDO will observe the same weather days that the Enterprise School system observes. These days are usually announced on our local radio stations.

Enrollment:

A child is actively enrolled in the program when the registration fee and enrollment forms are received by the program director. No child shall be discriminated based on race, color, religious belief, or gender.

Ages:

We accept ages 6 weeks to preschoolers who have yet to complete Kindergarten.

Curriculum:

We seek to provide an environment that emphasizes Christian values and the principles of faith as the foundation for spiritual growth. We have therefore chosen curriculum published by Lifeway Resources. This program provides opportunities for the children to learn about God, Jesus, the Bible, the church, family, self, and the world around them.

Chapel:

Preschool Chapel is offered to the one-year-old to four-year-old classes once a week. The emphasis is on God’s plan for a good and loving world. Appropriate stories from the Bible are shared with the children. Praise, thanksgiving, and prayer are part of their Chapel experience. We seek to tell the good news of God’s love and to enable the children to respond in ways appropriate for their age.
