Salem United Methodist Preschool Child Care is a church-based center in rural Eastover serving Cumberland County families with children ages 0-5. Its 3-Star license and flagged sanitation and staff certification issues in 2022, combined with a 'License Not Renewed' status in available records, raise questions about continuity of operation.
