Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide a safe, developmentally appropriate environment for preschool children two years to transitional kindergarten. It is our goal to support children’s desire to be life-long learners and understand God’s love for them.

Imagine a school that...
  • God is placed first.
  • Play is valued as important.
  • Teachers do not give answers, but help children find them.
  • Individual learning styles are embraced.
  • Children are guided positively so that they become responsible, social, and self-controlled.
  • Teachers are co-learners and collaborators with their students.
  • Materials are provided to entice curiosity and exploration
