Bluffton Child Development Center is now accepting applications for fall enrollment for children ages 6 weeks through age 12, according to Mary Painter, director.

Age appropriate programs are provided at the Center, which offers a nurturing environment with a professional staff and a curriculum that enables every child to grow and learn in his own unique way, according to Painter.

The Bluffton Child Development Center, originally named Bluffton Community Day Care Center, was formed by the Bluffton Inter-Church Board in 1977. Through the financial support from the community a building building was constructed at 325 County Line Road, which opened in 1991.

At that time the name of the Center was changed to better reflect the overall mission of the Center as being more than just a day care center.
