Our Philosophy
We recognize the crucial importance of children's experiences during early childhood. Positive, supportive relationships during the earliest years are essential for healthy emotional development, cognitive development and social attachment. We believe that all areas of a child's development - physical, social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive are interrelated and equal in importance, and that play is the best vehicle for discovery and growth.
Our Program
| • | We believe that each child is God's unique creation with an individual pattern and timing of growth. |
| • | We maintain a safe and nurturing environment for the freedom of discovery, creation, exploration and surprise. |
| • | We promote the development of responsibility and a positive self-concept. |
| • | We maintain a balance between child-initiated play activities and teacher-directed learning activities. |
| • | We present learning experiences that stimulate physical, social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive development in a Christian environment. |
| • | We provide activities to stimulate independent thinking and to give each child many opportunities for experimentation and problem solving. |
| • | Our curriculum provides for kindergarten readiness; at the same time, we believe that childhood is a journey, not a race. |
