Our Philosophy
OUR MISSION:
To make a quality Christian education available to as many children as possible, regardless of their socioeconomic level.
"Education is not filling a pail but the lighting of a fire."
– William Butler Yeats
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Christ-Centered
We believe that it is important for children to have a solid faith-based education to help shape them in the classroom. While students will learn about other countries, cultures, and religions, we are a Christian preschool that will teach kids about the love and grace of God, made evident in Jesus Christ.
Holistic
Students are more than their minds. We seek to create an environment that teaches and nurtures their spiritual, physical, social and cognitive development.
Real-World Experiences
Students need practical life lessons. They will learn how to garden, wash dishes, and take care of the environment. These are lessons they will use for the rest of their lives.
Interactive
Students learn best when they can use their senses of taste, touch, sight, sound and smell to interact with the material that they are learning. This helps them move from understanding concrete to abstract principles.
Social Development
Students are not encouraged to compete but to cooperate, to learn together, help each other, and develop friendships that will aid in their social and moral development.
Taking Ownership
Students have to be active participants in the learning process and take ownership of their ability to learn and focus their gifts in the classroom. A curiosity and love of learning begins with the willingness of the child to engage in the educational environment and we encourage all children to be self-directed learners. We also ask parents to help nurture this natural curiosity and independence in their children.
