Our Story, Mission, Vision & Values
For over 26 years, Anderson Creek Church Child Development Center has been more than a childcare center — we are a community, a ministry, and a second home for the families we serve.
Our Story
Anderson Creek Church Child Development Center was established as a ministry of Anderson Creek Christian Center in Spring Lake, North Carolina. From the very beginning, our vision was clear: to create a childcare center where professional excellence and genuine faith-based values go hand in hand.
Over the past 26+ years, we have grown into one of the most trusted childcare providers in the Spring Lake and Cumberland County area. Our 4-star rating from the NC Division of Child Development and Early Education reflects our unwavering commitment to quality care, qualified staff, and enriching programs.
We are proud to serve military families, working parents, and the broader community — providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for children from 6 months to 12 years old. At Anderson Creek CDC, every child is known by name, celebrated for who they are, and given every opportunity to grow.
Our Mission
To provide exceptional, faith-based childcare and early education that nurtures the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually — while partnering with families to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and character.
Our Vision
To be the premier faith-based child development center in the Spring Lake community — a place where every family feels welcomed, every child feels valued, and every day is an opportunity for growth, discovery, and joy.
Our Core Values
These values guide everything we do — from how we design our classrooms to how we greet each child at the door every morning.
Love & Compassion
We believe every child deserves to be loved unconditionally. Our staff leads with warmth, empathy, and genuine care in every interaction.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standards in childcare, curriculum, safety, and family communication — reflected in our 4-star state rating.
Safety & Trust
Parents trust us with their most precious gifts. We take that responsibility seriously with rigorous safety protocols and transparent communication.
Learning & Growth
We believe learning is joyful. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum sparks curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of discovery.
Faith & Character
Rooted in the values of Anderson Creek Christian Center, we nurture character, kindness, and a sense of purpose in every child.
Community
We are more than a childcare center — we are a community. We celebrate families, support one another, and grow together.
Our Faith Connection
Anderson Creek CDC is a proud ministry of Anderson Creek Christian Center, led by Pastor Angela Blue. Our faith connection means that everything we do is grounded in biblical principles of love, integrity, and service to others.
We incorporate age-appropriate devotional moments, character-building activities, and values-based lessons into our daily routines — not to impose beliefs, but to nurture kindness, gratitude, and a sense of belonging in every child.
We welcome families of all backgrounds and beliefs. Our doors are open to everyone, and our commitment is simply to love and care for every child who walks through them.
