STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

We believe in, and exist for the purpose of, helping you train up your children in “the way in

which they should go”. The first five years of life is the most critical stage of learning and

development. It is during this point where the stage is set for future learning. We have made it

our purpose to teach your child the fundamental learning blocks that they need for a successful

education. Along with teaching them and “showing” them the love of Jesus Christ as they learn

and grow!

MISSION STATEMENT

We endeavor to provide quality child care in a loving Christian environment for your child

regardless of race, creed, color, nationality, or ethnic origin. We strive for your child to form

positive, trusting relationships with our staff. As a result we will assist them in developing a

positive self-image. Developmental opportunities will be introduced through age-appropriate

activities designed to enhance skills in areas of social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth.

CHRISTIAN BASED

We are a Christ centered child care center. However, we do not teach doctrine. We instill basic

foundations for a Christ-centered life: love, patience, kindness, etc.

ABeka, Creative, and Learn Everyday CURRICULUM (PreK2- PreK3-PreK4)

Abeka Curriculum This curriculum focuses on Math and English. This program is designed to help

your child build those early building blocks that are fundamental in the learning

process.

Creative Curriculum This curriculum focuses on building the Critical Thinking skills of children while

focusing on exploration and discovery as a way of learning. This is where children

learn about self-help and are encouraged to try new things.

Learn Everyday Curriculum

This curriculum is a mandated, state-based, learning program that focuses on

helping children learn through their environment. Each classroom has centers set

up to help promote creative play. The program also offers children the chance to

choose what they would like to learn about.
