Thank you for considering Colbert Chapel Preschool to meet your child’s earliest educational needs. We understand that many preschool options are available to you, and we appreciate your interest.
Colbert Chapel church has been in the Northwest community since 1906. In 1973, Pastor Walt Henderson began directing a new Colbert Chapel Preschool. After working with the preschool for three years, a need became clear for a Christian based daycare in the area. Together with his wife, Geri and fellow church member, Billye Anderson, Chapel Children’s Center Daycare was formed. In the word of Billye Anderson, “This was a time when families were still adjusting to both parents working. We knew that if children had to be out of the home we wanted them to be in a good safe place, in the love of Christian people.”
Years later, Colbert Chapel Preschool and Chapel Children’s Center Daycare still have the same goals. The family has stayed close. Two main supervisors in the daycare are Miss Jackie, daughter of Walt and Geri Henderson, and Miss Shelly, niece of Billye Anderson. Director Elaine Sherer has attended the church since early childhood and has been the Daycare director since 1997.
