Hatcher Child Development Center

Our purpose, the values that guide us, and the way we care for children.

Our Purpose
Our main purpose is to provide a Christian, loving, learning, fun and safe environment for all children age six weeks to eleven years. We offer quality care by nurturing your child spiritually, socially, intellectually and physically. We offer love and patience to our students as they grow in mind, spirit and body and we encourage high levels of self-esteem and biblical awareness.

Communication Techniques
Newletters and menus are given out monthly. Parents receive daily reports for six week- two year old children. Parent teacher conferences and evaluations are done twice yearly giving us an opportunity to review each child’s progress; measure of success for us all. We have an “open door” policy-your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Our Student Teacher Ratio
Our student teacher ratio is designed to allow group experiences as well as individual attention. Infant toddler 4 children to each caregiver, 2 year olds- 8 children per teacher, 3 & 4 year olds-10 children per teacher and elementary age children are 18 per teacher.

Security
Your child’s safety is very important to us. Upon enrollment you are asked to list persons authorized to pick up your child. Anyone other than a parent must show a picture ID before we will release the child.

We also have cameras in each classroom that are monitered from the the office. This system records for up to 10 days for review.
