Children are learning through their play. We allow and encourage them to get their hands dirty, stand up and "brush it off" when they fall, and teach them to work out their own conflicts using words with their friends. They will get dirty; they will get bumps and bruises; they will have fun; they will learn. Parents are welcome to observe classes at any time.

We provide learning opportunities for children by offering activities that utilize their fine motor skills, gross motor skills, sensory activities, learning centers, manipulatives, blocks, and pre-writing activities. Our threes and Pre-k concentrate on readiness skills for elementary school. Each week we focus on a particular theme, color, letter, number and shape, and Bible verse.
