Philosophy
Our staff understands that children are individuals. They have their own uniqueness, which is greatly respected. We foster independence and help facilitate this within their environment. We are aware that children have different learning styles and we accommodate their needs.
The ages of 2 through 5 are the most formative years and this is when children learn more than at any other period throughout their lifetime. Our preschool utilizes the finest of Christian preschool curriculum, the A-Beka system, which includes numbers, writing, phonics, arts, and crafts.
We provide your child with innumerable opportunities to discover, explore, and learn about the world around them by providing hands on experiences. This is done by offering education in the following areas:

Christian Growth
These learning activities emphasize the child’s relationship to God, family, and friends.

Language Development
Your child will be exposed to new vocabulary words on a daily basis. They will learn to express themselves in an appropriate manner. They will practice having fun with language through songs, books, flannel stories, and rhyming.

Music
Music is a universal language. It plays a powerful role in brain development. Through music, children are free to express themselves creatively. They will be exposed to a variety of music throughout the year. Language, listening, math, and motor skills are reinforced through music.

Science/Cooking
Activities are prepared for children to actively explore their environment. Science helps them learn how and why things work. Children will assist in cooking activities (which are a form of science), because of the transformation that takes place, i.e. from a liquid to a solid. This will aid the child and help them in pre-mathematic and cooperation skills.

Social/Emotional Development
Children will learn acceptable ways of behaving and interacting with their peers and the adults. They will be exposed to large and small group interactions throughout the day. Within our class we reinforce acceptable behavior, individuality, respect for others, cooperation skills, manners, and diversity of cultures. Through this reinforcement, children learn the foundation in forming future relationships.

Our staff will always build a good self-concept in each child while respecting individuality.
