Children's Corner's philosophy: We acknowledge that each child is a child of God and every child has a right to grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and physically in a safe and nurturing environment. We seek to serve the community by meeting the needs of families. We strive to teach young children about the Bible and Christian love in a manner by which they may learn
A Typical Day
Our day starts at 9:15, we have a daily chapel time at 9:45. The children spend a total of one hour playing outside. Everyday the children are read to at least fifteen minutes and there are two hours of choice time.
