EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
WELCOME
We are celebrating 30 years of providing a safe, loving, and Christ-centered learning environment for your children of all ages. We have been serving families of the Bristol community since 1988. Our Childcare Center was created by two Christian women who loved children and saw a need in the community. We started with one child and have been growing ever since. We are licensed by the state of Tennessee with qualified teachers and staff to care for your children and teach them in an atmosphere based on the love of Jesus Christ. We are located at 822 Tennessee Avenue, Bristol, Tennessee. Our phone number is 423.989.4343. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 6:30 am to 5:30 pm. Call us and set up a time to come by for a visit. You can observe first hand what your child can experience.
ABOUT US
We are a ministry of Tennessee Avenue Baptist Church. We desire this ministry to be a service to the community by providing a warm and caring home away from home for children. We strive to provide the best alternative care for your children at a price that is affordable. Our program takes into account the whole child’s physical, emotional, academic, and spiritual dimensions. It would take several lengthy pages to explain every detail about our philosophy of childcare and values. If you would like to talk specifically about this, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to talk with you. We desire to minister to every family in any way we can.
