Program:

Your child’s early years are his/her most important developmental years. We endeavor to make certain that the hours your child spends in preschool are not wasted, but productive toward the formation of his/her character and personality. We feel preschool should be more than a playtime experience. Therefore a carefully supervised and balanced program is planned to assist your child in his/her learning process. Our qualified staff is fully competent to provide loving and understanding care for each child.

Goals:

1. To surround each child with a loving, safe environment in which he or she can learn and grow.
2. To encourage children into an educational process that will help to develop their young lives to maximum potential
3. To provide a nurturing preschool experience of lasting value by developing the total personality of each child spiritually, educationally, physically, and socially.
4. To support parents in the training and equipping of their children to fulfill God's purpose for their lives from a Christian perspective.
