A Little History
Noah’s Ark is a non-profit out-reach mission of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. Our childcare program has been in operation since 1972. Noah’s Ark began in a small space with only 15 children and over the years has grown to encompass 115 children and an expanded faculty.
In 1987 the “educational wing” of the church was built by St. Paul’s with the Ark, to accommodate youth programs of the church and the growing child care population. St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, hand in hand with Noah’s Ark Child Center, reaffirms daily their commitment to the needs of the community, childcare and childcare excellence. We welcome you to our Noah’s Ark family.
To facilitate an inclusive out-reach, the religious emphasis of Noah’s Ark is in the environment, stressing acceptance and a caring and loving environment. The religion of the home is respected. A simple “thank you” is part of our snack and lunchtime. The major Jewish and Christian holidays, as well as discussion of other religious/cultural practices and customs are incorporated into our gathering and story times.
The church, as the governing agency, continues to be involved in the Ark and their efforts to provide quality care within the community.
