Northwestern College Child Development Center celebrates 15 years

ST.PAUL, MN (08/06/2009)(readMedia)-- The Northwestern College Child Development Center is holding a 15-year anniversary celebration on Saturday, August 8 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Center, 2945 Lincoln Drive in Roseville, Minn. Current and former students, families and staff will gather for a celebration of the fun and learning that takes place every day at the Center. The celebration will include food, games and family activities, and include a special display of photos and memories from past students at the Center.

Founded in 1994, the Northwestern College Child Development Center provides childcare services and a preschool program for children in the Roseville/Arden Hills/Shoreview communities and surrounding areas. The Center offers a warm and welcoming environment structured around a family model that views students, parents and staff as extended family.

Located within the EagleCrest community run by Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota, the Child Development Center integrates a unique intergenerational dimension in its programs. Through specifically designed and developmentally appropriate activities, children learn to appreciate and interact with the residents of EagleCrest-lovingly referred to as "Grandfriends."

The Child Development Center is open year-round and serves students ages 16 months through Kindergarten.
