Murry's Child Development Center opened it's doors for operation on October 28, 1985. MCDC is licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and Jackson County Health Department (JCHD).
MCDC provides a safe, positive and enriched environment for children that allows them to grow at their own rate; emotionally, socially, physically, creatively and intellectually under the guidance of qualified teachers and staff.
MCDC is a family business and we support families by providing resources and educating families so that children are successful and happy in life.
Creativity flourishes in an atmosphere of acceptance and trust. MCDC recognize that each child learns and expresses himself in a very individual way.
Music, dramatic play, blocks, and art are just some of the areas your child will find materials that stimulate curiosity and involvement.
MCDC believes outdoor time is important every day to help children develop an active lifestyle.
We make sure that a part of every day, year round, is spent outdoors being active and having fun.
Social emotional development emphasizes many skills that increase self-awareness and self-regulation.
Research shows that social skills and emotional development (reflected in the ability to pay attention, make transitions from one activity to another, and cooperate with others) are a very important part of school readiness.
Children remember:
By interacting and being hands-on, our children learn quicker and retain the knowledge in our lessons.
We meet or exceed specific quality benchmarks set by the state on learning environment and instructional quality, along with selected program administrative standards; staff qualifications; and professional development. Learn more →
