Church of the Cross operates an outreach childcare program called World of Love Learning and Infant Care Center that was first established in 1967 as a pre-school program and currently serves approximately 120 children (infants through fourth graders) in an educational-based childcare center. In this loving, caring environment children experience hands-on activities which help to develop and enhance their creativity. They are challenged to seek and explore answers through natural curiosity and self expression. We believe it is important to give the children entrusted in our care the precious gift of love and the knowledge of being loved. It is our intent to provide individual attention through low teacher/child ratios. These low ratios allow children to develop at their own pace, aiding them as they develop a sense of value, self respect, and independence.
