School Philosophy and Mission

"Explore & Grow Christian Learning Center is a ministry of Kentwood Community Church that values each child as a unique creation of God. We believe in the Bible verse, Proverbs 22:6, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it." Therefore, we model kindness, respect, and self discipline. We also provide quality education in a fun and nurturing environment by trained staff"

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Occasionally, I am concerned how far into the building visitors can get without someone seeing them. The way the entrance is setup, it is not condusive to enforcing a secure environment. The office is located down a long hall, so sight is limited, and if the office staff is on the phone or already speaking with a parent, security is further compromised. They could really benefit from changing the existing set up.
