Our mission is to provide a Christian education and environment for young children of the community, and to show kind, caring ministry for families.

Our program is designed to meet many of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the children of the community. It stimulates creativity and individuality, promotes Christian values, and provides a preschool environment that prepares children for the next level of education. CDO is a mission extension of the First United Methodist Church. It exists as a service for parents who believe a preschool is beneficial to their children, and for children who typically grow to love their teachers and have fun.
