Affiliation Programs
Can you have a state certified childcare facility with a Christian curriculum without a religious affiliation?
I need to know if a daycare center without a church affiliation or home can provide a Christian based curriculum? The owners are not all from the same church or even the same denomination and it will be a state certified program. There is no Pastor or other church leader involved and no one has any theological background except their own individual faith. Possible? Legal? The right choice?
This really sound complicated but I’ll try to give some in site. Certification of the teachers in this daycare must meet the educational training requirements to teach children at that age level. Each state has its own criteria. Now if the owners are from different church, what is the Christian doctrines that underline the curriculum? I other words what christian information is dispensed after math, P.E., English. It is possible that many school early on were established under the banner of Christian schools , but were more segregationist school than any thing else. Many were housed on the church property or used Church names, ex. Bellows Christian Academy, Faith of Our Lord Preschool.
The state does not require theological background to be a daycare teacher, just certification to do that job. Possible? yes. Anything is possible and this appears to be one of those things. However, I would like to know which denominational doctrines permeate the curriculum.
If you find that there is one orientation presented throughout the curriculum, I would say you have witnessed a miracle. It
could be simply a prayer whose prayer is any ones guess or teaching the theory of creation. Is it legal? I think it must be. There are far two many children involved. Im not sure of what you mean by “the right choice?”
