Our Story
In 1971, South Highland Child Development Center opened its doors with the goal to provide all children the opportunity to receive meaningful Christian care. Over 50 years later, our dedicated staff continues to strive for this goal, cultivating a safe and happy learning environment where children receive quality developmental care through intellectual, physical, spiritual and social activities. Our hope is to foster a loving community where your child is free to explore and expand their mind – ultimately, instilling in them a lifelong love of learning.
