Our Infants & Toddlers and Preschool classrooms are currently at capacity and predicting when places will become available is difficult. Generally, these places open up when children begin kindergarten or the family has a significant life change. We have developed a Call List that contains all of the families who have expressed interest in registering their children and will be contacted when new spaces open up. Priority is given to families who already have a child enrolled in one of our programs.

Our After School programs from kindergarten through 5th grade do have limited availability. Please contact us here to discuss registering your child!
This is a list of families who have expressed interest in our programs that are currently at capacity and would like to be to be notified when there is an opening available. This is an extensive list that covers all of our programs, so we are unable to predict how soon a spot may become available. Priority is given to families who already have a child enrolled in one of our programs.

If you would like to have your name added to our Call List, please provide us with your name, email address, phone number, child's name and date of birth, and which program you are interested in. Contact us here to provide your information.
We have an "open door policy" with our families and enjoy having you join your child for birthdays, celebrations, or lunch any day. Just let us know early in the day. Parent involvement is encouraged. Come and read a story, assist at center time, or plan a special activity with the teacher.
In our Infant, Toddler, and Preschool programs, a nutritious breakfast and hot lunch are prepared in our on-site kitchen. In addition, we provide a nutritious afternoon snack. Menus are posted in the child’s classroom or in our office. Children in the After School program are provided with a nutritious afternoon snack.
We strive to share happy, wholesome experiences with children during their most formative years. We partner with families to help children be aware that they are a child of God and therefore worthy of love, acceptance, and support. We encourage Christian responses to daily living and working together.
We communicate through daily activity reports, monthly newsletters, emails, telephone conversations, teacher conferences when needed, and text messages when appropriate for inclement weather/closings.
We are acutely aware of the challenges of being a single parent and consider that our special ministry. Please see our Single Parent Program page for a full description of aid available for qualifying parents.
Yes, we pick up children from several local elementary schools and bring them back to C.O.S.Kids in our own air-conditioned, multi-passenger vans for an afternoon enrichment program. We also have booster seats available. For the most updated list, click here.
This non-refundable fee holds your child's spot in a class once we are able to give you a start date. It also covers insurance and your security pass keys.
Our main objective is to provide consistent praise, positive reinforcement, and encouragement as a means to manage classroom behavior. When disrupting classroom situations occur, redirecting the child is first attempted. A limited age-minute “time away” is then implemented to give the child time to re-think his/her behavior if necessary. Then the child is allowed to re-enter the classroom activities. If this is not successful, a conference with the teachers and parents will be called to discuss positive methods, which can be used at home and school to promote more appropriate behavior. No physical punishment is allowed at the center.
We have great opportunities for dedicated, caring, creative, Christian teachers to join our family. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package with paid time off, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, and a 401K matching program. For current openings, contact our Director.
