School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

Two by Two incorporates an established program and curriculum designed to help children grow spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, socially and physically (Luke 2:52). Staff will make every effort to enable each child to work toward his individual potential (Heb. 3:13). Love of God, self and mankind is taught through classroom instruction and hands-on experiences (Mk. 12:30-31). We believe that each child is special and unique and deserves individual care and attention (Psalm 139:13-16). We endeavor to give each child self-confidence through positive experiences, security through love and structure, and knowledge through quality curriculum (Dt. 6:4-9).
