About Us
Program Standards: State Certifications
CBCDC is licensed by the SC Department of Social Services. The re-licensing process is repeated every three years and includes visits from the department of Health and Environmental Control and the State Fire Marshal. Unannounced visits are conducted by DSS to ensure consistent adherence to state standards.
Vision
CBCDC provides a ministry through Chapin Baptist Church by offering quality childcare in a safe and loving environment. We promote opportunities for the children to participate in developmentally appropriate activities in a Christian atmosphere. The overall vision for our program is to develop children to reach their full potential in the following areas: spiritual, physical, social, emotional and cognitive development.
Program Standards: Enhanced Care
Chapin Baptist CDC is currently a ABC level A+ center.
In addition to being licensed, child care providers can choose to be rated as well. Providers who enroll in the ABC Quality Rating and Improvement System meet higher quality standards that go beyond Licensing requirements to achieve their rating, including standards for nutrition and physical activities.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off
Doors to the facility will be locked at all times. Upon enrollment parent's photos will be taken to access entry into the building with our advanced biometric technology that keeps our center secure.
The ProCare app will be used to scan children in and out of the attendance system. Children must be accompanied to their classroom or drop off area. Inform the teacher of any special instructions or information for the day. At pick up children will need to be scanned out of attendance for the day and any personal items taken home.

Safety is our First Priority
The only thing more important than the development of your child is his or her safety. To ensure the safety, security and well-being of the children in our care at Chapin Baptist Child Development Center, we have procedures and standards in place to cover pick-up and drop-off, visitors, equipment and furniture safety, and more. These procedures are periodically reviewed and updated to make certain they reflect the most current safety and security technology and practices.
