The Center is a broad-based ministry that seeks to enhance its program and enrich the lives of the families.

A loving learning environment.

We believe strongly in supporting every child’s social and emotional development. When children leave Galloway, they are not only academically prepared for kindergarten- they are also socially and emotionally ready to succeed, build friendships, and confidently face new experiences.

Our Approach

We emphasize five interrelated areas that are important for the growth of the whole child: intellectual, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual..

Our program is designed with intervals of stimulation and relaxation and a balance between periods of active indoor and outdoor play, quiet play, and rest.

Our Curriculum

At our play-based center, children are empowered to explore, create, and learn through hands-on experiences inspired by their current interests. Our curriculum offers a rich variety of activities in creative arts, literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, and math—all designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning. Educators thoughtfully guide and support each child’s journey, encouraging play as a powerful tool for developing social and emotional skills. Through choice, discovery, and meaningful interactions, we nurture confident, capable learners in a joyful and inclusive environment.

Our Program Priorities

KEEPING ACTIVE
With activities like creative dance and sing-along, and no tech like iPads or movies, we keep our children engaged and active all day! 

EATING HEALTHY
At Galloway Children’s Center we believe that nutritious meals fuel growing minds and bodies. Our menu is carefully planned to provide children with balanced meals and snacks every day. We serve fresh fruits and vegetables, and a variety of kid-friendly favorites. Our goal is to help children develop healthy eating habits while enjoying tasty, well-rounded meals that give them the energy they need to learn, play, and grow! 

CHRISTIAN VALUES
Our preschool program is rooted in Christian values and spiritual development. Children participate in weekly chapel services, engage with Bible stories, pray together, and learn about the life and teachings of Jesus. We strive to create a nurturing environment where faith, learning, and love grow hand in hand.

Testimonials

  • A family of five posing outdoors, with a man, woman, and three young kids, smiling in front of a stone monument and a building with stained glass windows.

    “Being new to the area, we were nervous about sending our one-year-old son to a daycare we knew nothing about. Galloway exceeded our expectations! From the faith-based curriculum to the staff who treat everyone like family, we are extremely thankful to have started our son’s adolescence at this sweet school.”
