PHILOSOPHY
As a Christian School:
We believe that each child is a parent’s most precious gift from God and we want each parent to feel secure in the knowledge that we provide the finest education and care. The care and attention that we give to these little ones is our expression of Christian love.
“And whoever welcomes a child in my name welcomes me.” Matthew 18:5
We believe in the Bible as the infallible Word of God and that Bible truths should be taught through Bible stories and the actions of Christian teachers.
We believe that traditional Christian values should be taught as instituted by God as stated in Genesis 2:24.
We believe that the curriculum should meet the needs of each unique child while providing for developmental stages. The curriculum should focus on all areas of development: spiritual, physical, cognitive, and social/emotional. Ultimately, service to God must be recognized.
We believe that, within a Christian framework, lessons and activities must be joyful and delightful.
MISSION STATEMENT
