Preschool

A Certified Preschool Program of Excellence for Young Children since 2009

PHILOSOPHY

We Believe that each child is a gift from God and should have the opportunity to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Engaging learning opportunities will be provided in these areas through developmentally appropriate experiences.

We Believe that each child is a unique individual with special talents and abilities,and we strive to instill a positive self-image and self-confidence in his or her own abilities. This can be achieved by intentionally providing a learning environment that promotes success.

We Believe that a teacher should encourage a child's natural desire for learning by providing love, support, enthusiasm, and understanding to each child. Every opportunity can be a teachable moment to engage a child's curiosity in the world around him/her.

MISSION

It is the mission of our preschool program to inspire children in their day-to-day learning to worship God, grow in their faith in Christ Jesus, and serve others.
