We seek to provide a loving, nurturing, environment in which each child will feel special and important. Each teacher is dedicated to providing the very best for your child. Our teachers are continuously attending workshops or education classes which provide them with new and creative teaching ideas. They also bring to our program years of teaching experience and education. Our program is rich in learning and gives children the opportunity to explore art, science, literature, dramatic play, music, movement education, foreign language and much, much more!
We look forward to an exciting year together as we strive to provide a unique educational opportunity for your child’s most formative years.

Mission Statement
We believe that the church
We believe that each child We believe that weekday programs We commit ourselves to providing weekday programs which bring together the best we know about the education of young children and our highest understanding of the Christian faith. We believe that all children grow and develop at different rates and have different learning styles. Children are naturally curious about the world around them and should be given the opportunity to explore, create and problem solve with materials which are developmentally appropriate. Each child brings to the educational setting his or her own unique set of experiences. Through interaction in the classroom, children can learn from one another. You will find that your child will increase language skills, become more self confident and develop higher order thinking skills. All activities in these early years should be hands-on and fun. Often what adults perceive as play or pretend is a serious learning experience for a child. Therefore, there will be an array of activities in which children can touch, feel, smell, taste, hear, and see. It is the belief of the Preschool staff that children, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, etc. are all children of God and deserve the opportunity to be part of the program. When children with developmental or social delays present themselves, efforts will be made to include them fully in all aspects of the program. It is understood, however, that some children may need more individualized interventions and instruction than our staff can provide. In those instances, the Director and teachers will encourage parents to pursue assistance through Babies Can’t Wait, the local school system, or other means.
