3-yr old Preschool Classroom
The purpose of the Child Development Center is to provide a positive learning experience in a Christian atmosphere. The preschool offers classes for children who will be three or four years of age before September 1st.

We also have a Mother’s Day Out class for children who will be two years of age by September 1st. The Child Development Center was established in 1975 as a ministry to the families in the Chatham area. Christian teachers who love God and love children will be ministering to your little ones. We will do our best to help them develop into well-rounded individuals, learning to love God and others. It is our desire of Chatham Baptist Church to provide an excellent opportunity to prepare children for success in Kindergarten. We believe that a child who graduates from CDC will be well-prepared academically, physically, socially, spiritually, emotionally and ready to begin their formal education.

The CDC follows the holiday and vacation schedule of the Chatham Public Schools. In the event of inclement weather, the CDC will be closed if the Chatham Public Schools are closed.
