Philosophy Ridgecrest
Baptist Weekday Ministry has been established to provide a spiritual
atmosphere and a positive choice of quality care for their children.
Ridgecrest Baptist Church considers it a vital part of its ministry to
this community.
The center is centered on helping children develop cognitively and
emotionally, with special attention to a healthy self-image,
self-identity and good socialization skills.
It is vital for a child to feel self-worth while being allowed to
express him-self within loving limitations
We are your extension of home. Our workers possess the ability to
communicate educational truths within the reality the child is
experiencing.
