My name is Carolyn Langdon. I am married to Rick Langdon, native of Four Oaks. We have three sons: one at Campbell U. and soon to be married, one at NCSU, and one still at home. My degree and background is in music. I have served both in Church Ministry, in teaching piano and also in providing music for weddings and other community needs, but another strong interest has always been in working with children. I have held positions as Youth Director and as a childcare provider in earlier years but stepped away from these activities around ten years ago to devote more attention to our three sons. With the two eldest now in college, investing some time back into these other areas of interests is in order once again. Offering this service is an optimal choice for our family.
When providing information to others about who I am, the most important disclosure I need to make is that I am unashamedly a follower of Jesus Christ and one who desires to reflect Him in all that I do. My purpose through Quest is to fill the role as a mentor to your children, helping to reinforce the basic Biblical values you desire them to embrace – values fundamental to life and recognized by believers of all denominations such as the Golden Rule and the Fruit of the Spirit. So, while providing a safe, fun, and educational atmosphere will certainly be primary objectives, the main factor I hope that will distinguish and set Quest apart from other care-providers, is this focus to encourage Christ’s character development in your children. Those who want such a program I hope will consider checking us out.
Why the name Quest?
Quest is a word that expresses a passionate pursuit of something. Most children are instinctively inquisitive and explorative, full of questions and imagination. Being on a quest for hidden treasure, for example, is always an appealing idea to the young and old alike. My hope is that each day we spend together, will be one that encourages your child to search for the true treasure of life – the Truth of God and His son, Jesus Christ. The scripture verse undergirding Quest is: Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
The quest of life is all about seeking Him. With all our heart. That is what I hope to communicate.
Location of Quest
Our program is home-based. No fancy buildings or special rented facilities. Our desire is to keep things simple, keep costs low, and help provide your children as comfortable and relaxing a place as possible – as if they are visiting their best friend’s home for the afternoon – only they get to do it every day. We are quite a distance from the road back in the woods on 16 acres and have many activities available both outdoors and indoors.
