VALUES

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

CURRICULUM

Our curriculum offers fun, "learn as you play" activities and experiences that focus on skills and abilities that are developing naturally at each age level. We use "Wee Learn" and "Zoo Phonics" for our core curriculum, and they are enhanced by our Curriculum Coordinator, continuing education classes provided for our teachers and additional early childhood resources.

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is open to the community with limited availability.
