Philosophy, Goals &
Our Mission

The purpose of a weekday preschool program is twofold: to prepare your child for a more formal education and to teach them to live with themselves in their surroundings in an acceptable manner. We hope to achieve this by guiding each child through many experiences. We will provide a caring, Christian, positive atmosphere, creating a warm and trusting place outside the home. We provide manipulatives and other materials to help the child increase in language, gross and fine motor development, and problem solving. Through interaction with adults and other children, the child will begin to discover their place in God's world. Our program includes independent and group play, art, Bible devotion, music, prayer, movement, stories, and finger plays. Our program is designed to make the first time away from home fun and enriching. Our goals for each child are:

positive introduction to the classroom setting
positive self-concept and a feeling of personal worth
working and playing happily with others in a group
to help each child master the concepts of God’s plan for each of us in our relation to our surroundings
understanding of God’s love
to create within each child a respect for others and self
to aid each child in their natural curiosity
to teach each child to care for personal needs
readiness experience that will foster growth physically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and intellectually
using and caring for materials
express ideas creatively
having cooperative play experiences
introduction to scripture in a simplistic way
