Child Development Center
Our mission is to provide quality child care for children from 6 weeks to 4 years of age. We will help develop your child in a social, physical, emotional and cognitive way. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere where your child learns through play, because “play” is “work” for young children.

BUGS After School Care
Bringing Up Grades Successfully (“BUGS”) started in 2007 as a free after school tutorial program utilizing the talents of volunteers within the Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church congregation. The commendable efforts of those dedicated individuals are not lost in this expanded concept. We continue to offer tutorials for those who need them.
However, our aim is to provide a service for working parents who need a dependable, safe environment five days a week, Monday – Friday, from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm for students pre-K through Grade 6. We now have pick-up service from both public and private schools within a 5-7 mile radius of the church. Because this service requires funds for operational expenses, it is necessary to assess a fee for the BUGS Program.
The cost is $50.00 per week. Fee includes pick-up from school, homework assistance, nutritional snacks, and weekly special features (i.e., fine arts, Jazzercise, recreation, computer instruction, math, science & reading enrichment along with curriculum hands-on group projects).
For more information, please call the GSBC office at 205.925.9750, Ext. 402 or send us an email at gsbc@greatershiloh.org.
