Mckendree United Methodist Childcare Center

Our program offers care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. We welcome parental involvement and encourage visits during the day. Our program is open to the community and our location allows many of our families working in the downtown area to stop by on a regular basis. We pride ourselves on having a warm, caring, and inclusive community for children, families and staff.

Licensed through the Tennessee Department of Human Services, McKendree has a Three Star Rating the highest possible. Ours is a developmentally appropriate program designed to meet the diverse needs of young children. We value play, warm and reciprocal relationships, discovery and joy. Caregivers/teachers intentionally plan the environment, schedule, activities and interactions to respond to childrens individual needs. These needs are met while paying careful attention to developing daily experiences that are child-centered and appropriate for enhancing emotional, social, cognitive, physical and cultural development. We want children to be safe, healthy, happy, challenged, and loved.

The center director, Cindy Lea Ligon, has been with the program since its beginning in 1990. Cindy is a Child Development Specialist with a degree in Child and Family Studies and loves her work with caregivers, families, and children. All staff are also trained in child development and have specialized knowledge in early education as well as personal qualities that assure warm and positive relationships with children and adults.
