About CE

A Tradition of Success

History

Windcrest United Methodist Church started Childhood Expressions Mother's Day Out Program on November 4, 1973. The Mother's Day Out Program was changed to Childhood Expressions Preschool and Nursery in 1984 to clarify that as preschool curriculum and learning environment for young children was being offered.

Accreditation

In May 1991, Childhood Expressions received national accreditation from the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Accreditation represents consensus of the early childhood profession regarding the definition of a high quality group program for young children. We continually strive to maintain those standards. Our parent information board has our most recent re-accreditation award.
