Oak Grove United Methodist Church Child Development Center

We are committed to providing the very best early childhood program for our children. Our goal is to create a Christian environment where children are loved and encouraged to reach their highest social, emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual development. The Child Development Center provides a full day program for infants and children (6 weeks-5 years.) This program is directed by Barbara Naish.

Oak Grove CDC has two After School Programs and provides transportation from the following Elementary School Preschools: Oak Grove, Briarlake, Coralwood, Hawthorne, and Henderson Mill. Schools that we pick up from might change according to our enrollment. (Coralwood pick up is for Pre-K and K only – not the 3-year-old program.)

Cordella Tarantine is the younger After School (ages 4 – 8) and Summer Camp Coordinator. The older After School Kids’ Club is for children ages 8-11. This program is directed by Lynnda Levitt and is located in the “Kids’ Club House” adjacent to the church parking lot. The Kids’ Club House Number is 404-315-1135.

About our enrollment : Our center is currently fully enrolled. Once our classes are formed they usually stay fully enrolled. We follow the Dekalb County School System calendar and closings (with a few exceptions,) so our classes begin in August and change the next August. We make our class lists in March for the upcoming August. We visually “move” the currently enrolled children to the next classroom appropriate for their age and development. Once this move has been tentatively made, we can see what spots are available in which classrooms.

As a courtesy to members of Oak Grove United Methodist Church, we can take their names and information on a waiting list. This is the only waiting list we have. Unfortunately, because we are usually full, church members have to wait. In March, as we make our Fall list, we will see which spaces are available. We check our waiting list to see if any current families or church members are waiting for that spot. If no one is waiting, we will post the available spot on this “Home” page of our website. If you’ve never seen us post an available spot, it’s because they are rare; however, they do exist! Thank you for your patience and your interest in our program.
