Welcome to Benaiah Christian Learning Center

I would personally like to welcome you to Benaiah Christian Learning Center. We named our center after on of King David's most courageous warriors. The name has two meanings: "Built on God" and "Intelligent". In June of 2002 we learned that we needed to move our first center, Olympic View Christian Learning Center, from Olympic View Assembly of God in Silverdale, due to construction at the church. Not long after we found our new home at Bremerton First United Methodist Church. After much planning, working with the City of Bremerton and the Sate of Washington, we were finally ready to open our new center in March of 2004. We chose the name Benaiah because we truly believe that the center is "built on God". And through all the trials of getting the center open, He is in the midst of it.

It is our goal to provide a quality childcare program using creative means to meet the child's individual needs for training and a distinctively Christian context and atmosphere. We do not feel we are a substitute for you as parents, but rather, partners in your child's care. We purpose to provide a safe, relaxed, comfortable and nurturing environment for your child while you are away.

I hope this website will answer all of your questions about our center. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, concerns or input that would help in caring for your child.


In Him,

Patti Sheldon, Director
