Our Philosophy
We believe that God created each child as a special and unique person. Each child can achieve full potential through encouragement and challenge, when guided with love and patience.
We believe that children learn through “play”. Play promotes self-expression, a time to explore and discover, and provides opportunities to develop social skills. Everything the child experiences, is a part of their education.
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to have a well-balanced preschool and kindergarten experience regardless of social, racial, cultural, religious or economic background.
Purpose
Our purpose is to educate the “whole child” by providing activities for mental, physical, spiritual and social growth in a Christ-centered atmosphere.
And Jesus grew in wisdom (mental)
and in stature (physical)
and in favor with God (spiritual)
and man (social)
Luke 2:52
