Child Enrichment & After School Program

The Child Enrichment Program at Memorial offers a loving, educational experience for children from three months through 4-K. Our preschool programs run from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Parents may choose to send children two or four days per week. There is an early drop off and late pick up option for those who need more hours of care. Staff to child ratio is excellent in each age group. Children are given individual attention and care during their day of learning through play with friends. Besides the typical preschool activities of music, art, blocks, books and puzzles, the children are made aware of God's awesome love and care for them every day. Even our CEP t-shirts bring attention to the fact that each one of us is a “Child of God.”

Our After School Program cares for children during the school year from the time we pick them up at Chandler Creek and Crestview Elementary Schools at 2:00 until 6:00 p.m. Children are served a healthy snack and have time for free play before we settle down to do homework. We are open from 7:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on the days when Greenville County schools are closed. We also have a day camp program for elementary children that runs through the 10 weeks of the summer.

For more information on either of these programs, call (864) 801-1110. Registration for CEP is in February and for After School is in May, but we will be happy to add your child's name to our waiting list at any time.

See the Bulletin Board for registration forms.

 

Hey kids, DOWNLOAD free music!

Are you a fan of Disney's Lion King? We love the video, the stage musical, and especially the songs.
We've put some new Christian words to some of the best known songs, and you can click the links below to see what you think of our alternative versions!

 

 

Oh I just can't wait to see the King

 

Lyrics

Jesus is our mighty King
His enemies run in fear
The love of Jesus is in our hearts
He's standing with us here
When I'm feeling pain or fear
His Spirit makes me strong
In every situation
Jesus moves me on
Let all creation jump for joy and sing
Oh I just can't wait to see the King

Jesus said he loves me
Jesus said he loves you
Jesus said love them
In the way that I do
Jesus loves us every single day
He loves us in every possible way

Everybody jump left
Everybody jump right
Everybody jump up
And put Jesus in your life

Let all creation jump for joy and sing
Lift him high and let his praises ring
It's gonna be the greatest thing I've seen
Oh I just can't wait to see the King (x3)

The Giver of Life

Lyrics

From before we were born God has loved us
And his love for us never will end
Oh he gave us a choice
And he said "now choose life"
But like sheep we all go astray
Our sin kept us far away from God
And the price to pay would be death
But the Son gave his life
So that death had to die
Jesus blood paid the price for us all

He's the giver of life
And he loves us all
Turns despair to hope
Brings peace and love
Jesus is the King
He's won us the victory
He's the giver
The giver of life

Can you feel his love for you?

 

Lyrics

Be still before the Lord now
What is on your mind?
Are there things that worry you,
Fears of any kind?
God is here to bless you
His heart is full of love
Jesus hand is reaching out to you
With the Spirit's power

Can you feel his love for you?
The peace his presence brings
He longs to hold you
In his loving arms
You're worth so much to him

There's nothing you can't tell him
No thought you need to hide
The things you've said,
The things you've done
Just open up your heart
And as you wait, he'll answer
A still small voice of calm
That speaks the truth
"You're so special,
You're the Father's child"
