To provide a Christian setting for learning and growing. This program is not to take the place of the Sunday School program at your church but is intended to expand the child's perception of God in his or her daily activities and environment.
To provide experiences to develop favorable attitudes towards others. Our goal is to help each child learn to:
To stimulate the child's interest in the amazing world around us by participating in mental, physical, social, and spiritual experiences
Our program includes short Bible stories, Christian songs, and short prayers, along with varied activities in language arts, science, music, social studies, physical development, and creative art. Our units include letters, colors, self concept, numbers, shapes, holidays, animals, safety, manners, nutrition, and hygiene. The material has been chosen to encourage both structured and unstructured activities. Community resource people are brought into the school to enrich our program.
