Child Development Center

EASTAR Health Services provides the benefit of on-site child care to its employees, and has offered this benefit since 1983. It is fully licensed by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services as a Two-Star Facility, and is licensed to accommodate 98 children at any given time. Services are provided for children age six weeks to six years old or prior to first grade. The operation of the facility is Monday thru Friday, 5:45 a.m., to 8:00 p.m. It allows parents to have a peace of mind while they’re at work to know their children are being cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Care at EASTAR Health System has as its goal the nurturing of the whole child. Central to care is the presence of loving adults who give children as much personal attention as possible. Human interaction is valued in the Center. Continuity with family life is fostered through parent participation, family events, and times for conferring and sharing. The curriculum of the Center provides creative activities in an environment that lends itself to the special developmental needs of children as they grow, allowing them to experience all areas of learning, socially and intellectually.
