The mission of The Booth Memorial Child Development Center is to create a learning community that allows each of its members to flourish and thrive! We provide a loving, secure, and developmentally appropriate environment, that nurtures, cares, and offers warmth and guidance to each child.
The Booth Memorial Child Development Center believes that all families have the right to the highest quality early childhood education, regardless of socio-economic factors. We believe that accessible childcare is necessary and essential. Our goal is to provide a curriculum that is full of learning opportunities and nurture children’s natural curiosity about the world around them. We teach children the skills that will help them succeed in school and throughout the rest of their lives.

The Salvation Army Is Here to Help More Kids Learn More Things
After-school programs have been proven to foster social and academic development as programs provide safe and structured environments for kids during after-school hours, oftentimes filling the space between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.
We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From homework assistance and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.
