Child Development Center
It is the mission of the Child Development Center at Timberlake to provide a loving Christian environment where children learn and grow spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially. We are staffed with loving individuals that have training, education, and or years of experience working with children. Our goal is to partner with the parents that we serve in training our children in the ways that they should go so that when they grow old they will not part from it. Proverbs 22:6
