The children enrolled here will grow and learn while having fun. Our mission is to provide the very best atmosphere for your child’s early education. We offer a Christ-centered, play-based program with an emphasis on social and emotional development.
We believe that children learn best through play. Making time each day to create, move, sing, discuss, observe, read, and play are all part of our curriculum. Our activities are centered around a monthly theme and letter of the week. The love of Jesus is felt daily in the classroom through stories, singing, and social interaction.
