Marizetta Kerry Child Development Center

For over 30 years, Marizetta Kerry Child Development Center (MZK) has been a pillar of the Charlotte community, offering a nurturing and supportive environment for children. Located at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in the heart of the Beatties Ford Road Corridor, this five-star center is dedicated to developing the whole child through partnerships with families and the community. The summer camp at MZK provides a variety of enriching activities designed to engage children in fun and educational ways. Campers can look forward to weekly field trips, swimming, arts and crafts, on- and off-site movies, and more. The camp’s focus on hands-on learning ensures that children stay active while building important social and developmental skills. MZK’s mission is based on the belief that it takes a village to raise a child, and their summer program reflects this by creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere where kids can thrive. Whether your child is interested in creative arts or outdoor adventures, Marizetta Kerry Child Development Center offers a summer full of excitement and growth.
