Because we care about your kids
Southport Presbyterian Church provides full-time childcare for children from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM through its Welcome Place Child Care Ministry. Our ministry promotes the healthy emotional, social, educational, spiritual, and physical development of children.
brightwheel app
At Welcome Place, we use the Brightwheel app to send you pictures, notes, incident reports, and more throughout the day. This allows you to check in at your convenience and stay updated on what’s happening with your children. Our goal is to help you stay connected and in tune with your family.
What can you expect?
We understand how intimidating it can be to send your child off for the first time, especially into new environments like child care. That's why we've compiled a list of items to help you know what to expect from us here at Welcome Place.
Curriculum with kids in mind
We provide regular, structured, and unstructured opportunities for learning, play, and activities that support your children's growth and development, preparing them for the next stage of life.
Sustainable Lunch Program
We have a full kitchen staff that works Monday through Friday to provide a balanced, nutritious meal for every child.
Affordability & Pricing
We offer a competitively priced rate to make childcare affordable for you and your family. Please contact Melissa Davis to discuss the pricing in further detail.
Consistent Care
We understand that routine plays a vital role in your children's development. Our goal is to ensure that your children receive the love and consistency they need in their care.
