The Children’s Center at First Congregational Church is described as Hudson's only Christian full-day and half-day childcare and preschool, with traditional and flexible preschool options from 1 to 5 days a week. The program provides healthy breakfast, lunch, and snack, low teacher-to-child ratios, flexible scheduling, and dedicated, caring teachers. Staff are described as constantly brainstorming programming ideas to keep children engaged and exposed to various creative outlets and social connections while having fun. The stated mission is to encourage growing independence through play-based, hands-on experiences, social emotional learning, and developmentally appropriate programs for two- to five-year-olds. Community involvement includes monthly story-time with a Hudson librarian and local field trips that make use of the downtown Hudson setting for walking trips.
