Church hosts Mother's Day Out program

The Mother’s Day Out program at the Lutheran Church of Vestavia Hills (LCVH) has a long history of caring for the children of the Vestavia Hills community in a loving, Christian environment. The program, begun in 1987 by member Janet Tyssee, has been a blessing to the Vestavia Hills community for more than 27 years. Offering morning care for babies and children ages 6 weeks through 4 years of age, the program added a baby class this year ensuring that the youngest “students” receive the undivided attention needed.

Cindy Michael, the Tiny Tots teacher, has been with the church’s Mother’s Day Out since the beginning. Michael has seen the program grow and continue in excellence over the years. The current director, Rose Phillips, has been with the program for the past seven years and is a church member of LCVH. Phillips is also one of the teachers for the preschool class and continues to provide the loving environment in which the children thrive. 

Kim Blackenburg of Vestavia said, “The MDO program has been great for my 3-year-old son. They provide a safe learning environment with lots of individual attention, and he has thrived.” 

Other Mother’s Day Out teachers include Amanda Nuss, Margaret Hall, Angie Null and Kena Wells. For more information about the program, contact Rose Phillips at 823-1883.
