Child Enrichment Center (CEC)

Gonzalez Methodist Church opened the doors of the Child Enrichment Center on August 2, 2005 as an outreach ministry to families within the Cantonment community.  The Child Enrichment Center (CEC) is a ministry designed to meet the needs of today’s families by providing a loving safe environment in which children can grow and learn.

The CEC ministers to over a 100 children per day.  The ministry hosts a class for one year olds, two year olds, three year olds, and two VPK classes.

An after school program was opened in the fall of 2011.  This program provides quality care for elementary age children.  The CEC bus picks up children from Pine Meadow, Lipscomb, and Kingsfield Elementary Schools.

Manuals, providing detailed information for both the preschool and after school programs can be accessed through this site.

We invite you to come by and visit our facility at any time.  We would love to share with you more about this growing ministry!
