We teach age appropriate curriculum as well as the love of the Lord. We hold chapel weekly where we teach lessons from Bible stories and sing songs of praise.

Your child will learn letters, numbers and skills such as the safe use of scissors. Music and art, show and tell and group activities introduce your child socially in an environment where they feel comfortable.

Learning at this age works best with an element of fun and we make sure to include some fun in lessons.

Our tree shaded playground is where children can run, climb, ride tricycles, swing, or simply play with sand toys. There is a lot to learn on the playground such as taking turns and cooperation. Of course, the kids think they are just having fun!

  • Discipline Policy: Redirection and time out are used for discipline. A time out is given, if necessary, of ONE minute per year of child’s age. If needed, a meeting with the Director is scheduled to discuss your child’s needs.
  • Time Outdoors: Weather permitting, the children play outside at our large, tree shaded playground in both the morning before lunch, and in the afternoon after nap and snack time.
