Mission
The mission of the Crestview Church of Christ Parent’s Day Out Ministry is to help accomplish and extend the ministry of Crestview Church of Christ. These goals are accomplished by providing care and education and by encouraging the development of each child to his/her greatest potential spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially. We provide developmentally appropriate activities, guidance, and a program of ministry and outreach to the families of the children enrolled.
The Parent’s Day Out program meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 2:30 in the preschool hallway of the main building of the church grounds. We are a Bible–based Parent’s Day Out Preschool Program. Our classes range in ages from 3 months to Pre-Kindergarten. We use the WEE Learn Curriculum in our program. We are a play–based, hands–on preschool. A weekly Bible story, theme, letter, shape, and number are taught each week. We follow the Midway ISD calendar for holidays, breaks, and closures.
This year, ten out of thirteen teachers in the Parents Day Out program are members of Crestview. Right now, we have about 4 substitutes teachers—two church members and two from our community—that we can call on when a teacher is going to be out. We are always in need of good substitutes that can be relied on at a moment’s notice.
Enrollment is around 48-50 children each school year. Approximately 80 percent of the children enrolled are from the surrounding community. Each class is divided into age groups determined by birthdate. There are six classes with two teachers per classroom. This year, our monthly tuition is $150 per child. This tuition goes towards teachers’ salaries, supplies, and resources. The director’s salary is paid by the church.
The program provides a safe, caring, loving, and learning environment for both the child and parents and is an extension of the church and its outreach to the community.
Cyndi Anderson is the Program Director, overseen by Dayna Bell, Children’s Minister of Crestview Church of Christ.
