Welcome to our Early Childhood Education Center! We are excited to partner with you in nurturing your child’s spiritual, emotional, and academic growth. Our mission is to create a warm, loving, and safe environment where children can learn and grow while being introduced to the love of Jesus Christ. Through play, exploration, and guided learning, we aim to build a strong foundation that supports each child's unique abilities and potential.
We strive to integrate Christian principles into every aspect of the day. From Bible stories to songs, your child will be immersed in Christian values that help them grow in faith and character. We emphasize love, respect, and building a strong moral foundation that will guide them throughout life.
Our curriculum is The Creative Curriculum. This is a play-based curriculum since children learn best through play. We understand the importance of social and emotional growth. Through group activities and guided interactions, children learn how to share, collaborate, and express their feelings in healthy ways.
We believe in the importance of developing the whole child, which is why we also provide opportunities for physical growth and development through outdoor play and fun activities that enhance motor skills. Our teachers, who are dedicated and caring, are here to support your child's journey and ensure they feel loved, encouraged, and confident.
We value open communication with families and are committed to partnering with you in your child’s spiritual and educational development. Thank you for choosing our Christian preschool – we are thrilled to walk alongside you as your child begins this exciting journey of discovery and faith.
