Eastminster Child Development Center is dedicated to providing a positive, caring environment for children, their families, and its staff. At Eastminster, we believe that children learn best through play and hands-on experience. Therefore, the program is designed to provide children with a variety of individual and group experiences aimed at developing children’s independence, creativity, and positive self-esteem.
We believe that diversity makes a richer program and encourages acceptance of individual differences. Eastminster does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, special need, ethnic background, national origin, sexual orientation, or age.
