Each day the chil­dren par­tic­i­pate in “Jesus Time.”  Dur­ing these lessons, the chil­dren become famil­iar with Scrip­ture, lives of the saints, and doc­tri­nal truths through sto­ries, pic­tures, songs, dance, role play, pup­pets, videos, and inter­ac­tion with others.

Reli­gious expe­ri­ences con­tinue through­out the day at Hay­den Child Care Cen­ter.  Chil­dren are intro­duced to the exis­tence of their Cre­ator, the beauty of nature, and learn to develop a rela­tion­ship with Jesus as their Friend, that He will help them and take care of them.  They learn that they can talk to Him any­time, any­place, and He will hear their prayers.

Once a week, the chil­dren at Hay­den Child Care Cen­ter par­tic­i­pate in “Kid-Fit,” a licensed phys­i­cal edu­ca­tion pro­gram designed to teach chil­dren the impor­tance of build­ing healthy lifestyle habits.

Chil­dren and Resi­dents Enrich­ment Program-is our inter-generational pro­gram where Seniors from Santa Tere­sita Manor and Bethany Assisted Liv­ing Cen­ter get together with the chil­dren for crafts, fine arts, and other edu­ca­tional activ­i­ties.  These help to pro­mote greater kind­ness and com­pas­sion between gen­er­a­tions.  It is a source of joy for both the young and young at heart!

Hay­den Child Care Cen­ter uses com­put­ers for  kinder and pre-kinder chil­dren as an effec­tive tool to enhance read­ing and math readiness.
