About Kids in Christ and Our Mission…

Kids in Christ is a terrific school-age childcare program based on Christian values. Children are safe and well supervised in a loving and fun atmosphere. Children are encouraged to create, study and positively interact with other children.

Kids in Christ is a non-denominational Christian program sponsored by Highland Hope United Methodist Church. Children engage in Bible stories based on Highland School District’s VIP principle of the month, pray before snacks, listen from time-to-time to Christian music and occasionally watch a Christian video.

In today’s world, children are bombarded with negative advertisements, music, and T.V. programs. We feel the only way to combat the negative effects are to replace them with positive, Christian examples.

Our Philosophy and Program

Grounded in the belief that children are unique gifts from God, we have designed a program in which children are treated with love and respect. Our program is in a relaxed atmosphere in which children have the opportunity to play informal games, enjoy a snack, create projects and crafts, exercise, hear Bible stories and have an opportunity to get a head start on their homework.

Parents and children are given flexibility and choices in designing a schedule that fits their needs. Kids in Christ is licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services and conveniently located at the Highland Primary School. We are always in need of volunteers willing to give of their time to help shape the future in a positive way. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Holly Rongey & Cathy Adoff at (618) 304-1513.
