About Our Program

As a Christian school, our teachers love Jesus, children, and teaching.  Their desire is to see children grow in their understanding of God's love for them and for others.

While following Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP), we incorporate the following:

• We promote DAP in all age groups, utilizing centers and curriculum
• We intentionally establish an atmosphere of love and respect in the classroom and among relationships with parents and families

Our program has adapted a schedule to incorporate:

1. Free choice and teacher directed activities
2. Quiet and physical activities
3. Large and small motor activities
4. Open and closed ended activities

While academics is our focus, we are also focused on helping preschoolers with emotional regulation.  Emotional regulation helps children ground themselves when they experience "big emotions".  It also helps them feel good about themselves when they have the tools they need to self-regulate.  Our objective as educators is to help them cope and thrive within social settings and relationships.

It is apparent, then, that the types of activities we integrate or permit in the classroom or school program be in line with our basic philosophy.  A Christ-centered focus must become a priority - or else we become textbook oriented rather than student centered.

This worldview dictates that we cooperate closely with parents in every phase of the student's development.  Partnering with parents to help their child grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally.  (Luke 2:52)
