Philosophy and Goals

Print E-mail

Both of the preschool programs provide opportunities for a child to realize his or her own potential as a three, four or five-year-old person. Each program is specifically structured for the developmental age level of the child enrolled. Cooperative planning ensures that the programs compliment each other. We strive to:

  • Create a Christian atmosphere for both individual and group experiences.
  • Nurture the growth of the child as a total person to enable the child to realize that he or she is special and unique.
  • Enable the growth of emotional and cognitive development fostered through creative expression, gross motor activities, open play, large/small group opportunities, science-nature discovery, and experiences with family. 
  • Encourage the development of meaningful social relationships with other children and with adults.
  • We believe the teaching methods and techniques incorporated in our program must be based on a proper understanding of child development. Since play is the foundation of child development, we plan for and recognize its value in our preschool.
