Environment and Philosophy

Shalom Daycare has been in continuous operation as a ministry of Roberts Park United Methodist Church since 1994.  The former education classrooms of the church have been converted to daycare rooms, with the children's comfort, safety, and enjoyment in mind. Each age group has their own classroom in the church building.  The children have a structured schedule, with breakfast, lunch and two snacks served, along with time each day for supervised play outside on our fenced-in playground area.

We believe that opportunities for children to learn are ongoing, and our programming and curriculum provide developmentally appropriate and age-specific learning opportunities for your child. In addition to traditional learning goals, sign language and Spanish are also part of our curriculum. Children of toddler age and older participate in a weekly Chapel activity conducted by Associate Pastor Kim King, and have music activities led by the church organist, Jerry Gillooly.

Our goal is for children to transition from Shalom Daycare to kindergarten well prepared for future learning.
