Early Childhood Education should have guidance for the children while allowing independence, creativity and individuality with high self-esteem built into each child. We believe that most children learn in a kinesthetic manner; therefore, each classroom should be equipped with age appropriate manipulatives in each individual area. The classrooms have many different centers creating a variety of choices and limiting disputes over activities. All toys and activities are based on the developmental age of the child. The center includes a variety of activities promoting social, gross and fine motor developments, cognitive reasoning, art, writing, and cognitive language development. These are the basics for early childhood educational development​
Our Goal
​
Our goal is to provide a place where children are educated while knowing that they are accepted, loved, protected, and wanted. We strive to instill a strong sense of self worth and purpose as a unique child of God. All our preschool and transitional kindergarten students should leave our learning center with a solid academic base to build upon as they enter Kindergarten.
