School Philosophy and Mission

"We, as part of the early childhood communities of White Bear Lake, Maplewood and Stillwater,
seek to support parents and children through a creative environment that promotes and teaches Christian values, honors diversity, and fosters fellowship within the total community.
Program Goals
* To provide a safe and stimulating environment that nurtures the natural wonder in each child.
* To create a setting that fosters the child's physical, social, emotional, cultural, spiritual and intellectual development.
* To honor and respect the diversity within each child as well as all of God's creation.
*To facilitate enjoyment of school and model a positive attitude toward learning which will allow children to face future experiences with skill and confidence.
* To acknowledge the parent(s) as the first and most important teacher and to support them on their parenting journey."

Get large plastic buckets (or sand buckets if you have lots of really little toys )in a variety of solid colors (red, blue, yellow, green, pink). Ask your child to clean up his/her toys by putting the toys in the bucket corresponding to the color bucket. Great for teaching personal responsibility, color identification, and sorting.
