SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Cranberry Christian Childcare 25 YEARS OF CARE AND LEARNING C ranberry Christian Childcare will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this September by doing what they do best - caring for children from ages 6 weeks to 6 years. The company’s recent history of growth has strongly improved resources and program structure and is almost complete in creating an idyllic setting for the children enrolled at the Center. “Our philosophy has always been that we’re a childcare center first, although parents do count on us to ready their children for school,” says owner Leslie Simpson. “We teach life skills along with a structured curriculum for Infants, Young Toddlers, Nursery, Preschool, and PreK. Children are prepared for school having been given an introduction to science, math, literature, we help in developing friendship building skills, and to have appropriate and positive behaviors. We provide encouragement to each child and guide them in obtaining skills in expression and centeredness through art, music, movement and a low-key approach to spirituality” Over time, Cranberry Christian Childcare has built a second and, most recently, a third, structure. A large garden and greenhouse is currently underway as well as a second playground with a splash pad and pavilions to complement a newly opened large muscle room. Cranberry Christian Childcare is licensed to accept 90 children. But there is never more than 30 or fewer in each structure. Each structure accommodates a specific age range of children. On the grounds, there is a Toddler house that serves the one- and two-year-old’s, the office, lounge, and a kitchen. The second structure is a small steel building exclusive to infants. A third newly opened structure is home to the Preschool/ Pre-K/ and after school kindergarteners. Longevity in staff is a consistent plus to this center in addition to prepared, healthy lunch and snacks that are included in the tuition. There has never been a registration fee collected from parents at this center, and rarely is there a rate increase. All supplies for activities are also included in the tuition as well. Much of the success of this facility is a straightforward approach to childcare and families, as well as the extreme cleanliness and well- furnished and supplied rooms. Parents also appreciate the fact that, as a private daycare, tuition goes directly to the program, not a corporate franchise. With a proven track record of 25 years of guiding children to a successful start, Cranberry Christian Childcare should be on your short list for any child care solutions you’re looking at this fall.
