OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is based on 1 John 4:8…God is love.
All children will be loved and cared for in a positively reinforced learning environment that promotes exploration and interaction. Social skills (sharing, getting along with others, respecting others), emotional growth (positive self-concept), intellectual reasoning (think, reason, question, experiment), physical development (gross/fine motor concepts as well as sound health, safety, and nutritional practices) and spiritual growth (God loves and forgives us, believing and receiving Him will give us eternal life) are critical components of our curriculum.
Teaching the children to be loving, happy, patient, kind, gentle, and forgiving will ensure strong character traits and will ultimately train our children to be more Christ-like. Under no circumstances will a child under our care ever be ridiculed, humiliated, or subjected to any form of corporal punishment.
