An Overview
What’s included in our classes?
Our preschool philosophy is formulated as the basis for lasting attitudes toward learning. At this age, learning is best accomplished through play and multi-sensory involvement, although our curriculum is academic. Our classrooms are filled with exciting hands-on experiences. Opportunities are available for each student to experience success and challenge on a daily basis. Teachers and teacher's aides are careful to balance the needs of individual learners with the needs of the class as a whole. We seek to develop the whole child by addressing the physical, academic, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of each child. We believe that children are a precious creation of God, and God loves and cares for them and for His world.
