Mother’s Day Out Program- Coming Fall 2008

Caring, Sharing & Loving

All stay-at-home moms need a little time for themselves to run errands, go to appointments, or spend time alone with a new baby while other children are cared for. So, Armstrong Chapel is pleased to announce our Mom’s Morning Out program, beginning in September! We will lovingly care for your child or children in a safe, Christian environment on Friday mornings, starting on September 12, 2008.

Mom’s Morning Out is a Christian program. We strongly advocate and support the Christian values of sharing, caring and loving. We believe strongly in the self esteem of the child and his/her respect for fellow beings. Our hope is that each child leaves Mom’s Morning Out feeling the love of Jesus and seeing that love demonstrated through their teachers.

Children will be divided into small, similar age, groups. Snack will be provided. Our younger children, 12-24 months, will enjoy a fun morning of active play, stories, music, and learning to make new friends. Older children will have a monthly Christian theme that will be carried throughout their activities. Activities will include art time, learning centers, outdoor/large muscle play, stories and music.
