Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

Educational Philosophy

We believe that the most important relationship anyone can have is a relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe it is vital to actively look for opportunities to share the gospel and plant gospel seeds in a child's life.

We believe that all children are a gift from God. This gift brings with it many responsibilities. Each child entrusted to our care deserves to receive the best care and educational experience that is available.

We believe that each child has unique qualities of learning styles, personalities, and family backgrounds that need to be respected.

We believe that as each child grows there are predictable changes that occur in all areas of development; physical, spiritual, cognitive, and social-emotional. Knowledge of this process helps teachers prepare the environment and activities so the child can enjoy creative and stimulating hands on learning experiences.
We believe that each child deserves a safe, loving, and consistent environment where they can learn. Daily schedules are maintained as much as possible so children know what to expect during the day.

We believe that discipline plays an important part in the educational process. By using positive guidance techniques, teachers and parents work together to help each child learn the value of self-control.

We desire to partner and support parents in their choice for an environment conducive of their family’s Christian beliefs. Children are introduced to age appropriate, Bible based curriculum, music, and hands on activities to encourage each child as they build their faith. These activities are interwoven in the lesson plans.

Most importantly, we believe that it is important to maintain an atmosphere of teamwork between school and home. This allows the child to make a smooth transition to school and keeps the family involved in each step of the child’s education.
