Welcome to our Early Enrichment & School-Age Program!
Our Goal
We want to provide high quality early enrichment for children. We offer a Christian environment and program designed to foster each child’s intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social development.
Our Mission
Bearden Early Enrichment Program (BEEP) and Bearden School-Age Program (BSAP) are part of Bearden’s Children’s Ministry. As a church ministry, we seek to provide children of diverse cultural backgrounds with a quality program through which each child and family is nurtured physically, socially, mentally, and spiritually in a Christian environment.
Our philosophy centers around creating strong family-teacher relationships while supporting your children’s developmental needs. We provide a family-involved environment.
Administration includes Ashley Harrington Amaro (director), Syeta Young (assistant director), and Jenny Somerville (teaching & curriculum coordinator). The office phone number is (865) 588 1492.
We are a 3-star center and adhere to DHS Rules and Regulations at all times. The safety and happiness of each child and family is our main concern.
Our program is equipped with cameras in each classroom and hallway as well as the gym and playground. The main doors to the childcare program are secured by pin-code access. Each family is provided with their own unique code upon enrollment.
