About Us
First Baptist Church Children's Center
Our History
First Baptist Church Children’s Center was organized in June 1967 and has
served children and their families for more than 40 years as part of First
Baptist Church’s outreach ministry to the community and the church,
particularly to children of working parents. The Children’s Center continues
to be an integral part of the church’s ministry of education and is recognized
as one of the very best childcare centers in Winston-Salem, NC.

Our Mission
“A family of faith seeking to know Christ and make Him known.”

First Baptist Church Children’s Center is a faith-based childcare center. As
such, we make every effort to teach and model Christian values.  Children
who participate in our program are introduced to Biblical teachings that we
believe will instill in them a sense of self-worth, Christian love, and
responsibility to others.  

Our Purpose
First Baptist Church Children’s Center is a mission of First Baptist Church on
Fifth. Our objective is to provide the highest quality care and early educational
experience for children ages 8 weeks through 12 years in a climate of racial,
ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity. We strive to support families by
providing children with a creative, nurturing, and stimulating environment that
fosters growth in all areas of development. Our 5 Star licensed, nationally
accredited child care center welcomes all families, including those who may
need financial assistance in order to enroll their children.

Our Goals
  • To offer an enriching experience in early childhood and Christian
    education designed to allow each child to achieve his/her full potential
  • To provide a secure environment in which each child will grow
    cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially; will gain inner
    discipline; and will discover self-worth and the meaning of Christian
    love
  • To nurture each child’s spiritual development towards becoming a
    vital and positive force within the family, community, and church
  • To help children become confident and enthusiastic learners by
    encouraging exploration and discovery through meaningful play and
    developmentally appropriate activities
  • To support families in achieving their occupational or academic goals
    with the assurance that their children are in a safe, nurturing, and
    stimulating environment
  • To instill in each child a lifelong love of learning
