The founders of 21st Century Child Development and Learning Center are Christians, and children enrolled in the center are exposed to Christian teachings. 21st Century Child Development and Learning Center utilizes the Pinnacle Curriculum, a Christian-based, non-denominational program. Children benefit from a wholesome learning center environment, nutritious hot meals, and exposure to guest speakers and mentors. The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library and the Child Evangelism Fellowship are two community resources that have partnered with 21st Century CDLC for more than five years.

At 21st Century Child Development and Learning Center, we believe that through nurturing, love, and understanding, we can provide a peaceful atmosphere to stimulate children's minds and guide them to a positive pathway in life. Our staff is highly experienced in child development. Each caregiver participates in a minimum of 21 hours of professional development annually.
