Lisa Thurm - Mother's Day Out Director
1. Provide excellent and safe child care in a setting of Christian love and emphasizing Christian values.
2. Give parents a day to spend as they please free of responsibility for their children.
PROGRAM:
This is an enrolled program and drop-ins will not be accepted. We offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum for the children in a structured environment. Children are given the opportunity to play feely and interact with other children to develop social skills. Bible stories are read each day as well as other storybooks. Prayer is said before snack and lunch.
AGES:
We will provide care for children between the ages of 2 months and 5 years old (Half-day pre-K students will be accepted.)
TIMES:
Jesus' Lambs will meet Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Parents may pick a one, two, or three day schedule. We will follow the Blanchard School Calendar as closely as possible so that the best interests of the children are provided for. Visit Blanchard Public Schools web site to download their current calendar.
