Trinity United Methodist Church's child care center, The Center for Creative Child Care (CCCC), has been serving the Lima community since August of 1982.
Our CCCC has been very influential in the lives of many families and has maintained a wonderful reputation as one of the outstanding day care ministries in the Lima area.
The purpose of the CCCC differs from other centers. Yes, we believe that educating young children is very important, but our families and staff know that teaching is third on our list of three priorities to our children.
The most important thing we teach our children is love.
"My teachers love me and therefore, I can do anything." The second most important thing is social skills.
Sharing, taking turns, following directions, using good manners, respecting our friends and teachers.
When you put these things together, being able to teach children "the academics"becomes an easy task.
Area schools have always praised our program for the way our children were prepared when entering their school, not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.
The CCCC's current enrollment is 120 children and has 30 employees impacting their lives on a daily basis.
We care for babies from 6 weeks of age through five/six year old.
In the summer, we offer care for school-agers Kindergarten through 4th grade.
