About Us
- To help children develop a basic Christian approach to living by example, by relating to God’s word in Bible stories and prayer, and in daily interactions with peers and adults – positive guidance and discipline.
- To guide, assist, and challenge each child to develop a positive self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-control: to enable each child to be successful
- To prepare children for normal schooling by developing social school readiness skills – develop listening skills and the ability to follow simple directions and complete a task; develop fine and gross motor skills needed to writing and reading; to share language and new vocabulary; to recognize numbers, to count and correlate numbers to quantities; to “take a turn”, wait for a turn, stand in a line, sit in a circle, hang up a coat – enabling children to be self-sufficient; to provide many happy experiences that promote a healthy attitude toward school and learning!!
