Child Development Center

Quality early education in a Christian environment — where we put God first and love your children.

First Baptist Church Bay Minette's Child Development Program provides children with a quality educational program in a Christian environment. We use the Abeka and Bible Studies for Life curriculums, developmentally appropriate for children from birth through 3-K and grounded in evidence-based practices, so our teachers can maximize each child's learning potential through play and interaction.

We strive to meet the emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual needs of each child. We put God first, and we love your children. Our goal is to educate while showing the love of Christ. We would love to have your child join us.
