Curriculum
The objective of our curriculum is to provide experiences that will help develop the whole child in five important areas: cognitive, emotional. physical, social, and spiritual.
Our developmentally appropriate curriculum is designed to offer a creative, hands-on learning experience for each child which allows them to develop at their own pace.
Our literacy-rich environment offers a variety of learning experiences in the following areas:
- fine and gross motor
- music and movement
- art, cooking, and sensory
- Bible stories
- literacy
- readiness skills and learning centers
Christian Teachings
Throughout the day, our staff portrays a Christ-like example to the children and their families. Through Bible stories we explain the following concepts on a child's level:
- God created the world around us
- God loves and cares for all of us.
- Jesus is God's gift to all of us.
- Jesus can help us obey, share, and do hard things.
- The Bible helps us to know what to do.
- Praying is talking to God.
By teaching about the life of Jesus, the children learn, through His example, how to love, respect, and care for others.
