CAVANAUGH CHILDREN'S CENTER STORY

Teaching children the ABC's of Education & Salvation

Cavanaugh Children's Center (CCC) is a ministry of the Cavanaugh Free Will Baptist Church of Fort Smith Arkansas. Cavanaugh Children's Center (CCC) was organized & developed to provide a loving, supportive, safe and educational environment for families who need toddler, pre-school and school-age care for their children. It is our goal to provide a loving and secure environment where children can develop socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually in a Bible-based program run by a dedicated, professional staff. It is also our mission for each child to know that they are loved by God.

OUR MISSION

Exceptional Child Care

We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially, creatively and spiritually. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.

Cavanaugh Children’s Center is a “private” Christian Preschool and Summer Camp.

By being a “private” school, the Administration of Cavanaugh Children’s Center has the right to accept or decline enrollment of any family. Enrollment into Cavanaugh Children’s Center is not an automatic certainty. Also, re-enrollment is not a guarantee; especially if the Center’s Administration feels that past actions of the parents/guardian or students towards the Administration, staff or students within the school were detrimental to the continued success of the school.
If at any time the Administration of Cavanaugh Children’s Center deems it in the Center’s best interest to terminate the enrollment of a student — it is understood that it is within Cavanaugh Children’s Center’s right to do so.

It is expected that all students and their families will adhere to the policies of the Center and will not provoke any undo turmoil or unrest between the other students, staff or parents without proper meetings with the Center’s Director. This type of behavior will most certainly result in your enrollment being forfeited.

Cavanaugh Children's Center has an open-door policy. Parents are always welcome to come by the school to see their child. No appointments are necessary. We encourage parent participation in our school, our activities and our programs.
