Programs
 
Curriculum
Our half day, licensed programs are open to children of all faiths. To ensure a quality program, we maintain a ratio of approximately 7-to-1 (child/teacher) so that each child receives more individual attention and instruction. We encourage parent involvement both at home and in the classroom.
 
Our newly implemented custom written curriculum nurtures your child's self esteem and allows for creativity and individual expression. Our learning environment, centered on Christian values, provides a balanced educational experience to prepare for your child's success in kindergarten.
