Location and Hours3001 Lovers Lane Open 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Who we serveWe serve children 2 months through 5 years of age. Our classrooms offer age-appropriate activities for children grouped by the following ages. (All ages are approximate and depend on a child’s maturity and readiness to enter a new environment. Classroom breakdown is as of Sept. 1, 2008.)
Tours and Waiting ListsTours to prospective parents are available each Thursday between 8 and 11 a.m. After touring, you may choose to put your child on a waiting list for a fee of $50 per child. We cannot guarantee when your child will be placed in our program. Priority is given to families who are currently in the program, although they must complete the waiting list application and pay the appropriate fees. To schedule your tour, please call the office at 214-363-2242. EnrollmentOnce you have been offered a placement in the program, you must complete enrollment paperwork and pay the appropriate fees. Families who are new to the center will also need to complete a series of forms concerning health requirements, emergency information, and information about your child. Our school year is divided into three terms: Fall, Spring and Summer. For the 2008-2009 academic year, families will continue to re-enroll each term. However, beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year, enrollment will take place by the year each January.

As a ministry of Christ Lutheran Church, we integrate faith throughout the day. Prayer, worship, exposure to religious stories, Bible verses and symbols are an inherent aspect of our programming. Our ministry focuses on God’s love and grace and a calling to share Christ’s love and care with others. Our toddlers through preschoolers attend a weekly "Worship and Wonder" chapel at 8:30 on Wednesday mornings led by our school and church staff members.
Our teachers and staff work together to create a thematic curriculum that is interesting to young children and offers vast opportunities for children to learn about their world. Our goal is to encourage our children to become life-long learners. As children become older, we integrate academic concepts through the natural way children play so they are prepared for future educational endeavors. Our themes generally last two weeks and include language, math, science, art, dramatic play, movement, music, multi-cultural, and cooking activities. We also integrate thematic materials into our learning centers to encourage self-initiated play.
The Christ Lutheran Church Child Development Center admits students of any race, color, sex and national and ethnic origin who meet the school’s criteria for admission. It applies its school-administered programs equally to all students. The school, however, reserves the right to first admit children of its own congregation, siblings of attending students and other area Lutheran congregations in line with its normal admission policies.
