Cliff Drive Care Center is a Non-Profit Corporation established in 1963 and has been providing quality care since 1963 as a ministry of the Free Methodist Church. The program is openly Christian, with Christian values and weekly chapel that exposes children to basic Bible stories and principles of compassion and love, and integrates simple Biblical lessons that emphasize age-appropriate moral growth and character development. Children from a diverse set of backgrounds and beliefs are welcomed and loved, and children experience the practical and compassionate love of Jesus. The campus is secure with regulated adult-child ratios, daily health checks, a daily nap, two nutritious snacks per day, and plenty of opportunity for physical, active play. The program offers several enrollment options ranging from part to full time, 2–5 days per week, and school year or year-round care, and provides sibling discounts.

Staff are CPR certified and trained in first aid, and teachers are experienced and trained staff who enjoy being with children and are resourced with avenues for early childhood educational growth. The program emphasizes creativity and kinesthetic learning through playtime activities and an outdoor classroom, and embraces the arts through music, singing, and hands-on projects that explore creativity and individual expression. Cliff Drive Care Center is a fully licensed care center and a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation. The mission of Cliff Drive Care Center is to reach into the community with the love of Jesus Christ in caring and practical ways to serve people of all ages and life circumstances, providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support to children and their families through licensed, professionally staffed early childhood education programs, and to older adults through nutritious luncheons, activities, social events, and personal attention. The leadership team includes Delanie Sabac, Director of CDCC Children's Programs; Cara Emerson, Office Administrator for tour information; Rev. Danielle Garcia, Business Administration; and Amber Gonzales, Bookkeeper.
